Steps to reproduce:

1. Visit a website
2. Open find bar, search text


Actual results:

Search results are highlighted by a different background color, but it is sometimes hard to spot if the website is cluttered or has a fancy design with already lots of different colors etc.


Expected results:

The search result should be clearly visualized, for example by a circle which quickly comes closer to the search result. Example attached as file.

Basically, mirror parts of the behavior of the following addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/findbar-tweak/

The reason why I report this even though there is an addon for this is that your management has decided to set everything on fire and exterminate all user interface related addons soon. Hence, I though you may be interested in providing such a feature out-of-the-box. I think this a very useful feature!
