Xinha WISIWIG Editor
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1449

Right click in a TextArea and choose Open Xinha Here (probably has a 
shortcut key too). Just found it. I guess my Google-Fu was stronger today.

Works fairly well in my admittedly short testing. Does a lot more than 
just find and replace.
