Could you explain that a little better please as to what you want ? Also since running 52 it will no longer be supported in June month end and anyone that is capable will be updated to a Quantum based version. Start making plans.

Please search in the search bar in the URL : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/ example reverse image

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

Thanks for the reply! I meant to search through text on images on the current page, not reverse image search like in google. So Firefox should process all images on the current page, recognize text from them and let me search through it using Ctrl+F.

To any browser, an image is an image. I would think you would need a special program that can 'read' the image.

Hi,

Would you take a look at this add-on and see if maybe it'll do what you're looking for  ?

I know what image is and I know that there are special programs with text recognition, I'm talking about adding this possibility to Firefox.

Thanks, it looks good, but this extension can't index images automatically, I need to select one manually, so there is no way to search among all images on the page.

This is not an answer to your question, but I thought you might find it interesting:

Thanks, but I know what images are and how to embed them into web page. It doesn't help to my question even a little :)
