It seems that Firefox 3 for Mac shipped with at least one annoyance: a case-sensitive Quick Find setting turned ON by default.I searched the about:config advanced Firefox settings for a fix; these steps disable the annoyance and return the find feature to its proper, case-insensitive state:
- Open a new tab in Firefox, type about:config into the address bar, and press return on the keyboard.
- Type case into the filter field.
- Double click on the preference accessibility.typeaheadfind.casesensitive.
- Change the value from 1 to 0 and choose OK.
- Close the about:config tab and test your newly improved case-insensitive Quick Find on any page.
[EDIT]
My incredibly intelligent brother recommends disabling the case sensitivity by pressing Command+F and un-checking the obvious "Match case" box.

Not sure who would think a case-sensitivity default would be a good default for quick find or why anyone would think that.
Thanks for the tip. I used the intelligent brother's approach ;).
