Firefox still has this feature, I believe it is referred to as "quick find" and is available with either forward-slash or apostrophe. You can follow a link with Enter and go to the next instance of the search term with ctrl-g or cmd-g.

apostrophe starts quick find, but only searches link text. So in your comment, typing 'gif would only select the text in the link; it wouldn't find as a result the "Gif" earlier in that sentence.

And with either, F3 or C-g searches forward, and Shift-F3 or Shift-C-G searches backward. If you're on a link, Return navigates to that link.
