Safari always had an interesting and convenient way of searching for text: it dims the background and highlights text-matches throughout the page. It’s too bad Firefox can’t couldn’t do that. It’s now possible to easily add that functionality to everybody’s favorite open-source browser thanks to a recent mozillaZine post.
The install process is pretty easy if you use the superior set of instructions and files, and it shouldn’t take more than a few minutes of duplicating, pasting, and mouse clicking to complete. The animation process in between “Next” clicks is also fun, and if you’re still on the fence about it, you could check out a video or two on the custom feature.
