    Default How can I double the firefox find textbox?

    Hi everyone.

    Often I make word research in a web page. Using Firefox I click Modifiy – find in this page and a box appears in the bottom where I digit a word and firefox goes directly to the position of this word in the page.

    But this is the problem: It often happen that I use 2 or 3 recurring words so I wuold need many of these research boxes.
    The best would be that every time I open Firefox It remembers the last words I used.

    Do you know if there is a modifiy or a plugin for this function?
    I tried with the addons but there are so many that I lost myself.

    Perhaps Google toolbar gives a little help but it’s not what I am looking for.

    Thank you everyone for your help.

    Here is one trick I use that works almost all the time.

    1) Find the first word you are looking for and select highlight all
    2) Then look for the second word and select highlight all.

    That way you will be able to find multiple words with the same search function.

    This also works with Google toolbar if its install try all the words you are looking for and then press highlight icon. It will highlight them all in different colors.
