How do you quickly look in Old Mail for a particular sender?
I'm using Firefox, with AOL within it as my email default. If I run AOL by itself outside of Firefox, it works fine and allows easy searching for a known sender in Old Mail using the "Quick Find" feature in AOL's Mail Box
How can Firefox be setup to do this? (I don't want to go through a Filter each time)

Your AOL features shouldn't be affected by Firefox.
Please explain more what you're trying to do, and what happens when you try.
the "standard" AOL home page is not the same when in Firefox as when outside and independent of Firefox
When one goes to look at AOL's Old Mail in Firefox, there isn't any Mail Box that pops up like in stand-alone AOL. Under AOL Mail inside of FIrefox, there's only the headings;
Today on AOL New Mail Old Mail Drafts Sent
etc
when one clicks on Old Mail, there's just a listing of past emails, but no way to Quick Search using the sender's name.
Firefox is only a browser. I shows what the web site tells it to. Using FF, see if you can access the options for the site.
What do you mean by "inside" Firefox, and "outside" Firefox?
Are you really querying Firefox, or are you using the Thunderbird email program to access your AOL email account?
If you access your email account through an email client program, it will look different to viewing it by Signing In to the server through a web browser.
