Searching using the Find bar DOES NOT highlight all his on the page. It sees the hits but doesn't highlight them, so I can't see what it's found.
When I search for a word using the Find bar, Firefox does not highlight all the hits on the page. (Sometimes it highlights some.)
It apparently sees the hits, because it jumps to each one as I click Next. But it doesn't highlight the hits. I can't see what Firefox has found.
I fear this is a Windows 7 issue (I am not a Win7 fan).

Make sure that "Match case" on the Find bar (Ctrl+F; Edit > Find) isn't check-marked.
