Re: Thunderbird style search in Firefox

for anyone who has thunderbird installed, they will notice that when you
search for an item in the search bar, a little button appears which
allows you to clear the field... is there an extension to firefox which
enables the same feature in its search bar? as it is very irritating
having to manually clear the search bar every time.

Hi Sam,
I just use ctl-f which opens the search box if it's not already open. It
highlights any text in the box if it's already open so anything I type
replaces what's highlighted. It shifts focus to the search box as well
so even if the box is on the main Firefox browser window ctl-f will get
you straight to the search box. I'm using KDE and ctl-f is the search
command used in KDE apps anyway. Isn't that easier and quicker than
using a button.
Cheers,
Jonathan
