this is more of a request and not a bug. if you look at a long web page (2 or
more screens of info) and want to find items on the page, the focus (highlight)
of the cursor moves down to the bottom of the screen. 99% of the time I have to
PageDown to see the "found" result in context. it would be nice if you could
move the focus to the top or the middle of the browser window (make it an option
for about:config ?)

Reproducible: Always




not sure if this works on all platforms, I have only used Windows XP. Thanks you
guys are great!
