Steps to reproduce:

Ctrl + F to search

Search any word

Actual results:

In pages with a lot of text or unusual css, sometimes matches are very hard, or impossible to find.

For example, if the font is very small, or there are thumbnails with hidden text, sometimes it's impossible to see what has been matched, even if the page scrolls to where it should be.

Expected results:

Suggestion: Highlight and zoom in the match. (i.e. increase the font of the matched text with a zoom effect for a second and use z-index so that it comes to the front of the page and isn't hidden)

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Layout: Text and Fonts' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Layout: Text and Fonts
Product: Firefox → Core

This sounds like it would be a front-end Find-in-Page feature, rather than a core platform issue.

Component: Layout: Text and Fonts → Find Toolbar
Product: Core → Toolkit
