In my CSS stylesheet, I have this: .fixme { color: 800000; } .fixme:before { content: "FIXME: " } Thus if I write <p class="fixme"> or whatever, the browser formats this text specially, and generates the text "FIXME:" at the beginning of that container. This morning I noticed that if I hit "Find" and type "FIXME", Firefox doesn't find the text, even though it's clearly visible on the screen. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. View an HTML document containing CSS-generated text. 2. Open the Find bar, and search for the generated text. Actual Results: "Phrase not found" Expected Results: Should have found the generated text.
