and highlighted whatever I had just typed.  Now, when I enter a "1", "2" , "6" , "9" or "0" (zero) 

For months I have been using (&relying on) the "search for text when I start typing " feature. I am a school teacher & this helps me to search for students & record scores in an online grading program. The "search for text when I start typing feature" stopped working two days ago. Before, whenever I typed the "Find" box immediately opened up, searched the screen, and highlighted whatever I had just typed. Now, when I enter a "1", "2" , "6" , "9" or "0" (zero) the find box does not come up- so this disrupts all the grade recording process for me. Instead, when I type in 6 or 9 (it zooms in the screen instead), 0 (it zooms out instead) and I cannot tell what happens when I type in 1 or 2 (nothing appears to happen- but no "Find" box comes up. -------- Edit by a moderator to improve the title (As suggested by a contributor, flagging the post) Was *The Firefox "search for text when I start typing feature" has just stopped working correctly Now *"Search for text" Zooms when number keys pressed. Expecting it to FIND text ~J99 I tried restarting Firefox and turning on/off the Advanced feature ( "search for text when I start typing feature") but it did not help. I am using a Mac. I also tried using an external keyboard/keypad but the exact same results occur. Please help! Thanks, Barry
