I'm set up to search a web page when I start typing, but I want the buttons that are present when I hit Ctrl+F to also show up as I type.

My search hasn't pulled up anything. Maybe my terms are too general? This seems like something the community would have figured out.

I've attached a screenshot in case it's not clear.

hi, you can try this addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/fayt-revived/

...or the following code in the userChrome.css file:

.findbar-container > *, .findbar-container > hbox > * { display: -moz-box !important; }

See if this helps you - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-contents-current-page-text-or-links

The Find Bar does offer more features than if you are using the Quick Find feature.

Thanks, but that's not what I was hoping to find. I want the Next/Previous Arrows, Hightlight All, and Match Case options to show up as I type.

That addon is what I'm looking for. I don't know why it didn't show up in my search. Thank you!
