- Alt + n - Displayed on the Firefox Find Bar
- F3 - Standard in many Windows applications (Visual Studio, Word, notepad.exe, but not IE)
- Ctrl + g (Find again) - Displayed in the Firefox Edit menu; used by a few other apps
For "Find Previous", Alt + p, Shift + F3, and Ctrl + Shift + g are supported, which nicely mirror the "Find Next" shortcuts.
I like this broad hotkey support for these functions; I think the (arguable) inelegance of the redundant hotkeys is outweighted by the usability benefit of having whichever common Find Next hotkey combination that is intuitive to a particular user be supported.
The incremental find feature itself and its benefits have already been covered pretty well by Jeff Atwood -- head over there to read up if you aren't familiar with the feature.
