Instead of using [Ctrl] + [ F] to find a word in a page, you can use Firefox 3's new Quick Find to search within a page-just hit [ /] to begin. You can also eliminate this step by enabling Type Ahead Find.

To enable it, type about: config in the address bar, and in the configuration page, look for accessibility,typeaheadfind. Double-click on it to set it to True. Now, to search for a word in a page, just start typing it, and quick find will find it for you.

If you only want to look for links, also enable accessibility, typea¬headfind, linksonly (if you prefer using a shortcut instead of this, hit [ '] to start Quick Finding links). When Quick Find has found your link, just hit [ Enter] to visit it.
