Firefox still can't find text on HTML table cells

Firefox is unable to find (Ctrl + F) some text inside HTML tables, like in http://www.dip-badajoz.es/bop/ventana_anuncio.php?id_anuncio=22714&FechaSolicitada=2008-02-20 If you try to search"Solano", Firefox will not find any matches, but "Solano" is there. This work fine on Chrome, for example.

Thank you

I'm also on Linux, but if I start a Firefox 6 version via Wine the I don't have a problem with a search for "Solano"


Start Firefox in Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Make sure that "Match case" on the Find bar (Ctrl+F) doesn't have a check mark.

Thank you cor-el. That's not the problem, cause I usually don't check "Match case". This problem happened on two Windows 7 computers. I'm just now using my OpenSUSE 11.4 and works fine, so I think is operating system related (Windows + Firefox).

Thank you
