in 1.x version of firefox, once the page is loaded, you can type any word and firefox will search inside the page for you (by default, "find as you type" need you to press "/" first before typing in search term, to eliminate this step, goto preferences->advanced->general->check "search for text when I start typing" ). the quick find bar shows up at the bottom of the window, with "next, previous, highlight" buttons on it.
while in firefox 2.0, when you doing "find as type", the quick find at the bottom of the window doesn't have those buttons anymore, which is quite inconvenient (you can still have full features find bar by press Fn+F3 or cmd+F, but thats two keys you need to press).
here is how you can restore the full featured quick find bar in firefox 2.0

1. close browser
2. open userChrome.css (location is ~/library/application support/firefox/profiles/axafasd.default/chrome/ change that example file's name to userChrome.css if this is first time you do anything to userChrome.css)
3. add this line in it
