Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

Upon selection of an 'HLMT' file via the 'Find' function under 'Edit' in Firefox the file loads ok. I then save it and return to the window that has the 'Find' selection. At that point the once high lighted file is un-high lighted (gone). If I click 'Next' the search goes to the beginning. This worked at one time about 6 months or so ago. If I use the same procedure with 'PDF' files it works ok upon return. The previous selected 'PDF' file is still high lighted which enables me to use the 'Next' button to proceed to the selected text in the 'Find' box to locate the next file ??

It appears as of today (06/25/10) that the problem with loosing the 'find' upon return to a HLMT window now works. There were some recent updates to Firefox and Ubuntu and maybe this was rectified there-in one of them. In any event the 'find' seems to be working as it once did. Thanks to whoever?? Poopa
