From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2+) Gecko/20010720 BuildID: 2001072008 Find in page is sometimes finding phantoms: results that don't exist. This is definitely not a case of scrolling or selection not working, the search results literally don't exist on the rendered page. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load http://werbach.com/barebones/barebones.html 2. Do not scroll page. 3. Select Search -> Find in Page 3. Enter "Location" in "find text" textbox. Check "wraparound". 4. Press find. The phantom results may "appear" either immediately, or after you hit the last instance of "location" on the page, depending on where you start the search. Actual Results: Nothing visibly happened, until the fourth time I pressed the button, when it displayed the first match. Expected Results: First result should be displayed immediately. I highly suspect that it may be finding "location" in the Javascript source of the page, because there seem to be three "location"s in the javascript, which matches the number of phantom results.
