When you are on a web site and want to search it for a word you can go to Edit -> Search in This Page. There is however a smarter way. Try hit the / key on your keyboard and then type the word you are searching for. This could for example be: /here. If It finds the word it highlights it. Type F3 to find the next word on the web page . This is a very easy way to do searches on Mozilla Firefox.

I have gone to Tools -> Options -> Accessibility and unticked the "search in links only" This way I don't need to use the / key to do a search. I simply press the word I want to search for.
