Find is not working. It's telling me that there are 3 instances, but I can't see any of them.
It's not scrolling the page or highlighting the word that it tells me is there. I lose FIND occasionally, but it no less annoying than when I am trying to get answers.
It wasn't working in Firefox 44.02, which I just updated to 45.0. Tried it in Safe Mode and it isn't working there either.
I am in the middle of trying to buy a new phone - it'll have to wait!
Thank you.

The page has a style rule that suppresses the vertical scrollbar:
html {overflow-y: hidden}
The Find feature doesn't seem to know how to deal with that. Fortunately, there aren't a lot of sites that do this. But... maybe someone should file a bug on it.

What is telling you that?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe web sites. Is the problem still there?
Is this a public page that you can link to? Maybe it uses some unusual styling that is obscuring the result from view?
Note that it is possible that this text is located in a link and isn't visible. You can possibly check that in the page code and do a search there.
- "3-bar" menu button > Developer > Page Source
- Tools > Web Developer > Page Source (Ctrl+U)
- right-click on the web page and select "View Page Source"

jscher2000 - yes. http://www.telephonesystemsguide.com/top-10-cordless-dect-ip-phones-business/ I was searching for "handsets," which appears in three locations. Unfortunately for me, they are only at the top, not in any of the phone descriptions.
You are the one in the bunch appearing as if you are my husband - and the only one who understands what I say when I am talking.
Funny - huh? Two points for you!
FredMcD = maybe by putting "" around FIND you wouldn't have had to ask the question.
See my response to jscher2000. Thank you,
Cor-el - Once I got hits, I knew that it wasn't, I was looking for it in specs or any kind of product description.
See my response to jscher2000. And thank you.
That content appears to be further down, but there seems to be a problem with scrolling. The vertical scroll bar is missing for me and I need to use the mouse scroll wheel or click on the page and use cursor down.
Hmm, actually a scroll bar appears if I hold down the left mouse button at the right end of the page and mode the mouse the mouse up or down. It is not very intuitive for me.

All of your responses are great, in that it's not "Find," but the page.
Unfortunately, I don't know what your tech terms mean, so I wouldn't know how to detect it myself next time.
Thank you.
I filed a bug once - and should be able to do it again.
