Search in PDF is broken since this update. I must go through the whole document for Firefox to load it up and being able to search in it. Couldn't find a similar issue on Bugzilla. Anyone having the same problem?

I've seen the same happen, so I've filed a bug with my reproduction: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1666575

I just tested PDF search (in an IRS PDF in Firefox 81 on Windows) and it works for me.

Do you see the problem in all PDFs? Maybe there is something unique to the PDF you are searching?
