962508 - Better, more obvious highlight for find-in-page results

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 384458

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[(Currently slow to respond) Philipp Sackl [:phlsa] (Firefox UX) please use needinfo]

Especially on pages with lots of text, it is often hard to locate the results of an in-page search. OS X and Safari do a nice job here by adding a little animation to indicate the location of the current result.

We can either use the same animation or come up with our own way to do this, which is why I am putting this on the UX backlog.

There were some mockups / a screencast[1] on firefox-dev[2]. There should be some bugs already on file, but I did not find them with a quick search. Ehsan should know more, though.
