I've uploaded a comparison between Safari and Firefox. In few words, there're lots of work to do here.
Safari : - Grey overlay in order not to focus on the page - Bubble animation to see where the word is - Pretty beautiful background on the searched word - Indication where other searched words are - Center the screen with like padding-top and padding-bottom as 25px from the screen In other words, what safari does is perfect. The thing to do at least is to add padding when centering about the search word, because at the current time, the searched word is sticked to the screen corner and it ain't really pratical. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/534606 Title: Find positions match off-screen Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox When using the "Find" feature (Control-F), matched text can be hidden behind certain elements on the bottom of webpages due to Firefox scrolling so the found word is at the bottom of the screen. Here is a demo of the problem: 1. Open the attached "Demo html file" with Firefox, fullscreen. 2. Control-F and type "K-1" into the Find: field, without the quotes, and hit Return. Firefox auto-scrolls so the second K-1 is hidden behind the banner at the bottom of the screen Please look at the attached screen shot showing a "match" which is invisible.
