Web pages can be quite lengthy, and sometimes scanning a page to find what you're looking for can be tedious. Luckily, Firefox can help you find specific text on a web page. It can even highlight the search text as it appears throughout a page, making it easy for you to quickly scroll through a web page and find the exact instance of the search text that you're looking for.

1.

Choose Edit, Find in This Page

To begin a search on a web page, choose

Edit, Find in This Page from the menu bar or press

Ctrl+F . The

Find bar appears at the

bottom of the browser window.

TIP

To search the text within a framed area of the page, click within the frame, and then begin your search.

2.

Type Search Text

In the

Find box, type the word or phrase you want to search for. As you type, the first occurrence of that bit of text is highlighted on the page.

Match case option.

To find the next occurrence of the search text, click the

Find Next button in the

Find bar at the bottom of the browser window. To find a previous occurrence of the search text, click
