I have "findbar.highlightAll" set to true in about: config so that text I search for is always highlighted. But if I enable "Search for text when you start typing" that setting gets reset to false when I perform a search. Is there a way to keep "findbar.highlightAll" set to true? Or is this a bug?

I don't think that this should happen as I'm not seeing it, but I use code in userChrome.css that makes all control visible in Quick Find.

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or if userChrome.css/userContent.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the Default System theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click "Refresh Firefox" in the Troubleshoot Mode start window
