Another feature that has been left broken in Firefox for many years, is the modal search highlight function, the thing that would darken the rest of the page besides your results, so you could easily see where it is... I really liked that feature.
I think firefox's search is just cursed. The option that you want to only enable for a single search ("Whole Words") remains enabled, while the option that you want to permanently enable ("Match Diacritics") just turns itself off after every search. (Yes, I know for the latter, you can set findbar.matchdiacritics =1)
