Now I understand that I misunderstood the feature. The Help page says:
---
Begin finding as you begin typing
When this preference is enabled, Firefox will find within the current
web page what you type as you type it. While you are finding typed text in
the page, the Find Toolbar will automatically display at the bottom of the
window to show information about what you've found.

I thought this meant that checking the box enabled the browser to perform
*incremental* searches ('what you type as you type it'), not to perform such
searches without the need to type '/'. So I was confused as searches were
always incremental. Maybe something like 'Firefox fill start searching as
soon as you type text'. And/or something like 'When this preference is not
enabled, searches must be started explicitly (with / or Ctrl-F)' would be
fine. The current text is a bit misleading in my opinion.
Can this bug be changed to reflect that, or should I file a separate bug?
Thanks,
Victor
