Preconditions
- Have dom.text_fragments.enabled to TRUE
Steps to reproduce
- Access https://web.dev/articles/text-fragments#:~:text=Creating%20Text%20Fragment%20URLs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhS9LnDoo_w#:~:text=The%20Chemical%20Brothers - Access https://web.dev/articles/text-fragments#:~:text=username%3A%20%22%22%0A%7D%0A*/-,The%20fact%20though,-that%20I%20had (Copy to highlight generated from chrome)
- Access https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhS9LnDoo_w#:~:text=The%20Chemical%20Brothers
Expected result
- Text fragments directive is applied, text highlighted and scrolled to
Actual result
- Text fragments directive scrolls the page to the fragment position but it doesn’t highlight
- Text fragment directive works: highlight and scroll
- Text fragments is not highlighted (unsure if scroll works for the example - since page it's already @ top) - seems that the fragment is executed before page loads
Regression range
- Not a regression.
Additional notes
- Same behavior in Chrome as well for 1 & 2.
- 3rd example works properly in Chrome

Another case with PDF.js:
Step: Paste and navigate to the following link into the address bar: https://pdfobject.com/pdf/pdf_open_parameters_acro8.pdf#:~:text=Related%20documentation
Expected: The page is loaded, first instance of text Related documentation is highlighted. The page does not scrolls to the highlighted text fragment.
Actual: Nothing happens, text is only highlighted after pressing Enter again in urlbar.

Steps to reproduce
Here is my observation:
The right test fragment was originally correctly highlighted but then I saw the highlighted color disappear right after.
- Access https://web.dev/articles/text-fragments#:~:text=username%3A%20%22%22%0A%7D%0A*/-,The%20fact%20though,-that%20I%20had (Copy to highlight generated from chrome)
This is the directive which was generated for me, when I used "copy to highlight" in Chrome. And this works well in both Firefox and Chrome.
https://web.dev/articles/text-fragments#:~:text=username%3A%20%22%22,that%20I%20had
This works for me now in Firefox.
