User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8 Build Identifier: Firefox/0.8 the only reason that I still use IE sometimes is the google toolbar. It is very nice to have the search words that match in the page be highlighted and be findable through a find-next button for each search word. This makes locking at search results much more efficient. Especially for large pages. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open IE with google tolbar installed 2. search for "google search result highlight" 3. click on first hit 4. see marked up page and 4 clickable buttons on toolbar 5. try same in Firebird, but fail :( Actual Results: no marked up page and no clickable buttons on toolbar Expected Results: see marked up page and 4 clickable buttons somewhere (maybe on title bar, there is usually unused space)
From the description I guess this belongs to the Googlebar extension. See http://googlebar.mozdev.org/
find next is doubtful, but there's a bug on highlighting already.
This functionality was added by Blake's new "Find Toolbar". You can see it in recent nightly builds. If I've misunderstood what you want and the feature has not in fact been added, feel free to reopen this. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 250231 ***
