slowfox: Slowfox' default icon (Default)
One of the cool, sort of buried features of Firefox has evidently been borrowed from vim (greatest text editor on the planet, bar none).

In vim*, in command mode, to search for text, you press the '/' key, and then type what you're trying to find.

Because this is so ingrained, I do this quite a bit in Firefox too. And it works :-)



* - OK, technically it's true of vi, too. But vim's cooler.
