I've uploaded a comparison between Safari and Firefox.

In few words, there're lots of work to do here.

Safari :
- Grey overlay in order not to focus on the page
- Bubble animation to see where the word is
- Pretty beautiful background on the searched word
- Indication where other searched words are
- Center the screen with like padding-top and padding-bottom as 25px from the screen

In other words, what safari does is perfect.

The thing to do at least is to add padding when centering about the
search word, because at the current time, the searched word is sticked
to the screen corner and it ain't really pratical.

Title:
  Find positions match off-screen

Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser:
  Confirmed
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  When using the "Find" feature (Control-F), matched text can be hidden
  behind certain elements on the bottom of webpages due to Firefox
  scrolling so the found word is at the bottom of the screen.

  Here is a demo of the problem:

  1. Open the attached "Demo html file" with Firefox, fullscreen.

  2. Control-F and type "K-1" into the Find: field, without the quotes,
  and hit Return. Firefox auto-scrolls so the second K-1 is hidden
  behind the banner at the bottom of the screen

  Please look at the attached screen shot showing a "match" which is
  invisible.
