@9to5linux@floss.social Oh wait it does, idk why it didn't seem to scroll the first time. Nevermind.

@9to5linux Hey, it worked! I hope they add scrolling, but this is awesome.

@9to5linux@floss.social Oh! No way.

@9to5linux@floss.social Thanks, yeah I already use it today on Edge + Chrome. ie on Edge I can link the quote above with right click > "Copy link to highlight", and I get: https://9to5linux.com/firefox-131-beta-improves-translations-adds-temporary-site-permissions#:~:text=For%20web%20developers,top%2Dlevel%20sit.

Firefox is my daily driver though, so I've been missing this feature.

@9to5linux@floss.social Text fragments came to Firefox?! That's an exciting update.

"Firefox 131 promises support for text fragments, which can be used to link directly to a specific portion of text in a web document via a special URL fragment"

It says "For web developers", but really this is a great feature for non-devs because it means you don't have to go looking for anchor IDs and you can link a specific sentence of text from an article.
