Instead of being applied to the main window, those functions now do the same as the corresponding functions in the &#8220;This Frame&#8221; submenu, which is the a intuitive &#8220;context&#8221; for the context menu.<\/p>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/firefox\/1075\/\">Find in Frame Hack<\/a><\/li>\n<p>After a left click somewhere in a frame, the regular find function (see ctrl+F) will start finding from the place of the click.<br \/>\nAfter a middle button click, the finding will be started from the top of the clicked frame.<\/p>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/firefox\/1122\/\">Tab Mix Plus<br \/>\n<\/a><\/li>\n<p>Tab Mix Plus enhances Firefox&#8217;s tab browsing capabilities.
