Crtl + F find tool broken?

The find bar (ctrl + f) seems to be broken. I'll search for something that is directly on the page that I can see on the page, but it claims there are no results found. I've already tried a lot of the fixes people claim works (checking if Match Case is checked [it's not], disabling extensions), nothing seems to fix it.
If it helps, I took a video of the problem in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2baqhoBtUs
So... is Firefox broken, or did I do something wrong?

hi marioaddict, let's try to troubleshoot the issue: can you get to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

How can I make disappear the finder tool bar in the second monitor?

How can I make disappear the finder tool bar in the second monitor?
(I have to use ProVideoPlayer, a professional application for presenting videos and I really need a clean second monitor!)

After changing that setting and logging out and back in as it indicated, do you still have two menu bars?
If you are already set up that way and want to move the menu bar to the other monitor, drag it there in the Arrangement tab of the Displays system pref.

"Find" tool not showing any results

The "Find" tool isn't showing any results despite searching with test words that are in the document. The "Advance Search Options" tool doesn't turn up results either. I am using Reader XI. Document properties show that the PDF Producer is "TypeReader 6.0 Professional" and the PDF Version is 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x). Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

Hi Claudio,
Tried to select and cannot, so it's an image of text. Thanks for your help!

Find tool highlight color glitch

I noticed that when I use the Find Tool in Pages 09 (newest version), it will find the desired word but it won't highlight the text in yellow in certain documents. In some of documents it works fine and highlights them in yellow when it finds them, but others it does not. It highlights them in white, which makes them impossible to see on the page. Sometimes I can see a small little piece of the yellow box wanting to show up, but it is barely there.
This is obviously a glitch that it is driving me nuts!

That is not Pages 09 it is Pages 5 and yes there are bugs.

Photoshop: values for type, brush, crop, lasso etc tools broken on Leopard

I posted this in answer to another thread, but decided that it may be helpful to some Photoshop users if it had its own topic:
The following is a technote copied from Adobe's forums, regarding the performance of several menus for key tool settings in Photoshop CS3 running in Leopard:
*Changing values for type, brush, crop, lasso etc tools broken on Leopard*
*Kirsten Harris - 08:58pm Nov 15, 2007 Pacific*
Adobe and Apple are working closely to provide a fix to a known issue running Adobe Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop CS3 Extended on Mac OS X Leopard (v10.5.1). Currently, when you enter values in numerical fields to set sizes for the brush, crop, marquee, lasso, type, and other Photoshop CS3 tools, those values revert to previously entered values when you try to apply them.
# While we have identified workarounds for some of the affected tools, this issue prevents people from working as precisely and intuitively as they expect. Providing a fix to customers is a top priority. Please note the following: The fix will be provided through an update to Mac OS X Leopard. Consequently, it is not part of the Photoshop CS3 (10.0.1) update.
# Apple is collaborating closely with us to get this fix incorporated into a Mac OS X Leopard update. No public schedule is available at this time, but both companies understand the urgency of this fix.
# As soon as the appropriate update to Mac OS X Leopard is available, we will immediately alert our Photoshop users.
Affected Photoshop CS3 tools: Art History tool, Blur tool, Brush tool, Burn tool, Color Replacement tool, Clone tools (all), Crop tool, Dodge tool, Eraser tools (all), Gradient tool, Healing tools (all), History tool, Lasso tools (all), Line tool, Magic Wand tool, Marquee tools (all), Paint Bucket tool, Pencil tool, Polygon tool, Quick Selection tool, Red Eye tool, Rounded Rectangle tool, Sharpen tool, Smudge tool, Sponge tool, Slice tool, Type tool
Workaround for tools with sliders: Instead of typing in a number, use the sliders to change the value.
Workaround for tools with pop-up menus: Enter a value for the size but don’t press Return/Enter to apply the value. Instead, choose it from the top of the Size pop-up menu to commit it.
Workaround for tools which do not have sliders or pop-up menus: For certain tools, such as the Line tool, you may want to set up presets that you can load to set common sizes. Alternatively, you can restart Photoshop CS3 to clear the problem. You will then be able to enter values again. However, the issue typically re-surfaces quickly.
If additional details come to light, our tech doc Values in numerical fields in Photoshop CS3 revert to the previous value in Mac OS X v10.5.1 (Leopard) will be updated.

Well, that's interesting! Here I thought the problem with my CS1 was just that it was too old, running in Rosetta and all, and would be fixed when I get my Xmas treat of CS3. Wonder if that means when the fix comes from Apple it will also fix the same problem in CS1? Of course, by then I'll probably have CS3.... Thanks for posting this, I would have been mighty annoyed to have plonked down my 200 bucks only to discover that I had the same bugs.

If you are trying to find Tools > Options, in Firefox 5, click Firefox button, click Options, click Options. 
Also, ALT+T will open the Tools listing.
You can still use/see the Menu Bar (''File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help'') if you prefer it:
*'''Temporarily display the Menu Bar''': press the ALT key for the F10 key and make your selections from the temporarily displayed Menu Bar
*'''Toggle between the Menu Bar and Firefox button'''. Do one of the following:
**NOTE:
***Menu Bar '''checked''' = Menu Bar on, Firefox button off
***Menu Bar '''un-checked''' = Menu Bar off, Firefox button on
**keyboard shortcut: HOLD the ALT key while pressing the letters VTM on your keyboard
**Using the Menu Bar: click View > Toolbars, click Menu Bar
**Using the Firefox Button: click Firefox Button > Options, click Menu Bar
**right-click on an empty space in one of the toolbars, click Menu Bar

How do I find "Tools" so I can disable the auto complete function?

I was told that to disable to auto complete function, I had to click on Tools. I can't find "Tools". How do I get there?

Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
Use "Firefox > Options" instead of "Tools > Options" if the menu bar is hidden.
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history" : "Remember search and form history"

Finder Zoom Broken?

I've got 10.4.4 installed on a PMG5 Dual Core and the zoom feature in the Finder seems broken. When I click on the zoom button the first time, the window properly shrinks or expands to fit the content and the second click appropriately sizes the window back to what it was originally. But that seems to be the end of it. After that, no matter how much content is added to the window, all subsequent zooms only cycle between the first two sizes (the first time it was zoomed and the original window size). This behavior is incorrect.
Also, I've got an AppleScript that preps Finder window views to my liking, which includes setting the zoomed property to true. This no longer works. I get the error: "Finder got an error: Can't continue ."
Any clues or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Once you know an issue is user specific you need to narrow down what is causing the issue in your user.
The first place to check is in the Library
Open the Library and locate your Preferences folder.
Pull it out to the desktop.
Log out of your user and back in. Don't be alarmed the Preferences folder contains any preference settings you have set up and you can get them back by putting back the folder. We are just isolating whether the issue is in your preferences.
Open an app or 2 to test the apple tab. Is the finder icon displaying properly now?
If so then you know that the issue is with a preference in the folder.
Quit the applications and open the Library again. The system created a new set of default preferences and a new folder. Move that folder to the trash and drag back in the Preferences folder you had dragged to the desktop.
Log out and back in and all your preferences will be reestablished.
You now know the issue is with one of the files in that folder so you need to isolate the file. You can do that by removing them in groups then logging out and back in and seeing if it was one of the group.
Personally I usually remove the entire folder and put back my com.apple.mail.plist and my ichat plist. I can open my applications folder and drag an application icon or 2 back into the dock. My application preferences get set up whenever use the applications. I found it easier than isolating the corrupt plist. Sometimes it is a combination of plists and that is hard to isolate.

How can I customize the "Find" tool (Command+F), so that I can search for partial words?

In other words, let's say I'm on a webpage and I want to search for each time the word "Apple" is used. So I hit Command+F and the Find banner appears.
If I type in "apple," it works just as it should. But if I type in "pple" or any other internal part of the word, it doesn't come up.
Is there any way to customize the find tool so that I can search for the internal bits of words to find it? Other browsers like Chrome and Firefox don't have this limitation.
Thanks!

Does the menu display correctly in preview?
If you look at the map of your project, the top well should be empty. If it isn't, click and drag the movie icon out of the well to clear it. Then try preview to see whether it works properly.

Can't find tools

Can't find "Tools" on my firefox start page

Hi, your question was posted from a Windows PC but also marked as a question about the new Firefox OS for mobile phones. Let's see whether I can cover both of those.
(1) Windows
You have a choice of menu systems: the classic bar (File, Edit, View...) and the orange Firefox button leading to a compact two-column menu.
* If you are displaying the orange Firefox button, you can tap the Alt key or the F10 key to display the classic menu bar temporarily.
* To turn the classic menu bar on and off, you can right-click a blank area of the tab bar or the new tab ("+") button and use the short toolbar list to show and hide the menu bar and various toolbars.
* If you can't see any toolbars, you might be in full screen mode. The F11 key will switch between normal and full screen views.
(2) Firefox OS
Probably you need to open the Settings app.

How do I go back to 3.5 ? Nothing is compatiable with the stuff I use! Realplayer doesn't work anymore??? I can't find tools with the new version?HELP???? in English

I can't find tools..?
Realplayer was working now it won't !!

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
