Thanks for the reply honestman, but the 'search tab' only checks the titles and I need something that searches text. &nbsp;The 'find in tabs' is outdated but there are some posts about editing one of the files to make it compatible. &nbsp;Unfortunately, there are other posts about how some folks who have edited that add-on file just wound up hosing FireFox and wound up deleting the add-on anyway. I'm not comfortable experimenting with that.<br />
<br />
I appreciate the ideas though.

Fastest search is exactly what I was looking for - thanks!

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I'd like to find a way to perform a search for specific text, but expand the search to include all currently open tabs in either Firefox or IE. &nbsp;I know that CTRL+F will perform a 'find' in the current tab, but is there a way to search all the tabs I have open?

Open tab text search

I&#39;d like to find a way to perform a search for specific text, but expand the search to include all currently open tabs in either Firefox or IE.  I know that CTRL+F will perform a &#39;find&#39; in the current tab, but is there a way to search all the tabs I have open?

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.
