- Firefox's ' search feature allows keyboard navigation by highlighting links matching typed text.
- Modern websites often use buttons and divs for actions, limiting keyboard navigation with built-in find features.
- A proposed solution is a browser extension that clicks on highlighted text when Enter is pressed, enhancing keyboard navigation.
- The extension works by detecting the Enter key press, finding the selected element, and simulating a click on it.
- This small change significantly improves the keyboard navigation experience on websites that rely on non-link elements for actions.
