How do I highlight a passage in a website in a colored font before bookmarking website?

On my Mac laptop, using Firefox, how do I highlight a passage within a website in a colored font before bookmarking the website?
Where do I find Firefox's color options?
Anything else I need to know about the process?
Many thanks to anyone who can help!

When you save a Firefox bookmark, it just saves the URL, not the current page. When you use the bookmark, it takes you to the URL and retrieves the page from the server again. So... the highlighting won't be there the next time. Maybe you could print the page to PDF and keep it that way??
Also, I don't think Firefox has a highlighting feature built in. Perhaps you can find an add-on for that?

You can view non-PDF documents, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, RTF, in Adobe Reader for iOS. However, you are not able to add comments or edit non-PDF documents in Adobe Reader.
To open a non-PDF document in other iOS app.
Tap anywhere in a document to display the toolbar in Adobe Reader.
Tap the Share icon on the right side of the toolbar.
Select Open In... from the menu.

How do you highlight multiple documents rapidly, rather than having to click on the document and on "command" one at a time?

How do you highlight multiple documents rapidly, rather than having to click on the document and on "command" one at a time? Right now, when I'm trying to highlight documents to export, I have to click on each document individually. Is there a way to highlight one document while scrolling down the list until all desired documents are highlighted? I would like to rapidly be able to do this to save time when I am exporting or saving multiple files from my documents to an external drive, CD-Rom or cloud storage.

Click on the first item
Hold the Shift key
Click on the Last Item.
All the items in between will be selected.

Do you mean items in Finder?
To highlight (select) a whole block of items :
- click the top item you want
- hold down Shift
- click the bottom item you want
The whole range from top to bottom will be highlighted
To select random items :
- click the first item
- hold down the Command key
- click any more items anywhere in the list
Just the items you clicked will be highlighted
This technique works also in apps like iTunes, iPhoto, etc.

How do you highlight text in document in Pages

How do you highlight text in document in Pages

but Pages is NOT a 3rd party app. it's an application that's programmed by apple. it's supposed to act something like Word in MS office, but that is not at all true.
choices for editing text, highlighting, et al., like what you find in MS Office Word, should be immediately available whenever you are inside of a Pages document, but that is not the case.
don't you wish that when you buy an apple app for apple/macs that is supposed to be like a windows something or another that it really is?

How do I highlight text in Pages?

How do I highlight text in Pages - none of the menus, nor the 'Help' function seems to help...

It's tough searching for something when you can't guess the terms to use. It's called a "background color." You can choose a color from the format bar.

How do I highlight text in the new Pages? It's not clear.

I have the new version of Pages. And it appears that highlighting of text is an issue. This is a basic function.
I found there is one quick key version, but doesn't clearly explain how to change highlighting colours. How to get into it.
I have to explain this to my 80 year old mom, who we told to get a Mac because it was easier!
So if anyone has it laid out step 1, 2, 3, that would be helpful, because it's not clear to me either.
Thanks!
Apple - please to a quick fix for this one, it should be the same as changing the size or the font or like bold or italic. Simple, clear, fast and doable..... for anyone!

TO Peter,
Thanks for the list. I had found it in LibreOffice, tucked away in the Background tab of the Character pane opened by the Character... menu item in the Format menu, and named "Background Color. A few steps further down than in Pages. Apache OpenOffice has it in the same place. But both also have a hilight icon in the toolbar.
I didn't fin highlighting or Color fill in Text Edit (v1.8). Might need a further search.
But this well-equipped party of (one) oscurantist did find a shorter path to highlighting text in Pages '09, cleverly hidden in plain view! See the image below.
TO hscortez,
I'm aware that changing the text colour is not highlighting.
But YeOldMacFan pointed out how to change text colour AND how to change background colour of text, using Character fill, found in the Advanced Options (Pages 5) or the More (Pages '09) tab of the Text Inspector.
Character Fill fills the space around the character with the chosen colour. As shown above, it's essentially the same effect as dragging a hiliter pen along a line of printed text.
Unfortunately, whats shown above is the Character fill well on the format bar of Pages '09—right out in the open like the highlighter pen button in LibreOffice, and presumeably in MS Word. I don't have Pages 5 (avoiding it until a few more of the missing features arrive), but I do note that Pages for iOS offers highlight as one of the options in the contextual menu that appears when a block of text is selcted.
The process appears to be:
tap twice to select some text.
drag the handles at each end of the selection to adjust what's selected.
tap Highlight in the menu that has appeared on the screen.
One thing missing appears to be colour choice. The default is a 'hiliter yellow'. I didn't see a way to select a different colour.
"Hopefully, this will make it on their upgrade list. "
Hope is good, but taking action is useful.
Pages menu > Provide Pages Feedback > Make your request that this be added to Pages 5. Requests made through Provide ...Feedback go directly to Apple. Comments and questions here are read by users like yourself, and we don't have the ability to change the way the apps work. Not directly,anyway.

How do you highlight a sentence that spans two pages without having to make two notes?

If a sentence starts on one page and continues to the next, how do you highlight the entire sentence without having to start a second note for the second page? I know it's possible because one of my notes is highlighed that way. This seems like it should be a simple thing to do. But I can't figure it out and I can't seem to find any solutions either.

Not sure if it'd make any sense, given the device and software,
but what happens if you could resize the page so that sentence
is in one page, then resize the page back to original size; which
should make both halves of a sentence still retain that aspect?
Just an idea...
Dangerous enough?

How can i highlight text in the Adobe Difital Editions?

You have to remember that Digital Editions was never designed to have 'text
editor' capabilities. BTW: Bluefire and Overdrive also have such
limitations. Put in another frame of reference, DE presents you with the

How do i highlight text in a pdf document

how do i highlight test in PDF document?

Thank you so much, Bill, for your reply. My problem was/is that I could
not get the highlight tool to work. I tried countless times before posting
my query on the website. You assumed correctly; I was/am working with text.
I was using Adobe reader to highlight text in an Adobe doc I had created
and need to forward to a third party. I wanted to highlight that text in
the document that is salient to the actions I am asking of the third party.
Perhaps the highlight tool cannot be used in a previously created Adobe
document. In any event, I do appreciate your reply.
