Type-ahead find in FireFox
I wondered for a while why FireFox’s “type-ahead find link” feature was not working for me (type ’ and then the link you are looking for). I finally figured out why: this functionality looks for the text of the link, not the href.
Which is a bummer because looking for an href without having to open the source window would be quite convenient.
Does such a feature exist in FireFox?

Yes ! In fact, the default is to search links only, but you can change that : Tools > Options > Advanced > Accessibility, and then uncheck the "to search links only" box. Steph
Sorry, I realize my previous comment does not answer your question. Steph
It would be an interesting feature. I have looked around but couldn't find something like this. But... take a look at this: http://www.autohotkey.com/ (don't be afraid: is free and open source). You should be able to add this functionality quite easy. I was impressed with it. I have changed on my laptop a win key to ctrl key with 2 lines :-).
Checking it out right now. Pretty sweet
Do an about:config in Firefox, and search for "linksonly." Set it to "false." Then it'll search all text.
