An interesting convention for mozilla users.

If you start typing in mozilla it automatically searches for the letter on the page, so if you type out a a word chances are when you finish, you will be at the thread or whatever you are looking for.

Did anyone else know this?

EDIT:It seems to search for strings, so if you type a word it searches for a word.

It's called Type-Ahead Find. It's been around since version 1.2, at least.

Can't live without it, now.

[Survival Kid]

Yeah, but it likes to kick in when I go to type in the address bar, which can get a little annoying sometimes.

Hit F7 or some other F-key to disable it.

ah thanks, I hate that feature. It's in firebird as well (not surprisingly).

Doesn't ctrl-f have this feature? I thought I saw my friend doing this on IE or something a while back.

You mean Firefox?

For the longest time, I had it enabled and didn't realize it -- I thought it was a goddamn bug in the browser leaving a flashing typing point on the rendered HTML.
