Why does the ctrl-f search function shift focus to the web page window when pressing space?
In previous version of FF, I could type in full words in the search field, but now the focus is changed to the window after typing 2-3 letters.
I've noticed that it happens when I enter a space in the search string. It's not a question of upper(lower case, I've checked.
I use the latest version of FF, 5.0 on a PC. The problem is this: when I try to search the page for text using control-f, I can only type in a couple of letters, then the focus shifts to the letters found, forcing me to stop typing and press ctrl-f again. This is very frustrating, and this wasn't the case with previous versions of FF.
Can anyone tell me why the ctrl-f text search behaves like this?
Thanks!

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Thank you! It seemed that hardware acc. was the problem, I can now use the search/find field as in previous versions of FF.
You've saved me a lot of head-ache!
You're welcome
I was wrong - it wasn't the hardware acc., it was one of my add-ons. Probably one of my search engines or "After the deadline".
