Firefox extension question

[xorbie]

Before my computer crashed, I had a very helpful extension that I can't find anymore. Whenever you typed anything when you had a web page open, it would search for that text in the webpage, and would immediatly jump to it. Does anyone know what this extension is called?

ctrl+f

EDIT: Or the forward slash.

Is this supposed to be in computer tech help? Not that I care /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Was this extension over and above the built in "find" feature in Firefox? Press CTRL-F then type what you want to find and it will jump to the text, that feature is built in. CTRL-G will cycle between all the occurances of the search text.

Hmm. I do recall now actually that it was built into Firefox, but I think that I had a different theme that did it automatically. Oh well, whatever, ctrl+f will work fine.

You just need to enable "Find as you type" under Options->Advanced->General or Options->Advanced->Accessibility depending on your version of Firefox.
