Subject: firefox 'Find' not working

I've been experiencing a problem with the 'Find' feature in both
firefox-0.10.1 and firefox-1.0.  I built and ran both versions from
pkgsrc on a 2.0_RC4 i386 system with XFree86 4.4.0.

When I'm looking at a Web page and type Ctrl+F, the Find toolbar pops
up at the bottom of the window.  I type a search string (one that does
exist throughout the page) into the box and hit Enter.  Nothing
happens.  Likewise, nothing happens when I click either the 'Find
Next' or 'Find Previous' buttons.  The browser does not scroll through
the page to show the occurrences of the string.

Clicking the 'Highlight' button *does* cause the string to be
highlighted throughout the page.

Any clues about why 'Find' is behaving this way?


Thanks,
