Reader Grant wrote to tell us about Firefox’s little-known Quick
Find search tool, which you access by pressing the forward slash key
(the one that shares space with the question mark).

When you press slash (or the apostrophe key), you’ll see a little
Quick Find field in the lower-left corner of the screen–not unlike
what you get from pressing Ctrl-F (but without any of the Find
controls). Start typing and you’ll see instant results. Wait a moment
and Quick Find disappears on its own.

Obviously this won’t work if you’ve placed your cursor in a text
field (you’ll just get the slash or apostrophe), and I’m not sure
there’s any major value in using this search method instead over
Ctrl-F. That said, it’s one less keystroke, so it does seem a little
faster. Just one more way to wring a little more value out of Firefox. — Rick Broida
