Textmarker vs. PDF search-highlighting
Either use Textmarker or the search-highlighting functionality in FF's built-in PDF-viewer. They are not compatible. The latter works very different from search-highlighting on webpages and will mess up text marks that are in the same container as search results.
Note: FF doesn't allow extensions to work in built-in PDF-viewer anymore.
