Searching for information on the web often leads you to a webpage you are unfamiliar with that contains large blocks of text. When you encounter a page like this, you don't want to waste time reading the whole page, you want to quickly find the relevant information. With Mozilla Firefox, you can search for words or phrases and have them highlighted on the page. This helps you scan the page for the information you want and reduces the time it takes to find the information.
