Details

about:preferences has its own find textbox at the top. If you open in nightly, and search for "nightly" you'll see more than one hit (highlighted). Now search again (cmd+G on osx). The findbar opens, and find-again does not work.
Product: Toolkit → Firefox
To reproduce this on Windows or Linux you would replace Cmd+G with F3 in the STR from comment 0. The search within Preferences doesn't focus on each search result, so "Find next" doesn't make much sense here. We should listen for the F3 or Cmd+G keystroke and return focus to the search box instead of opening the Find In Page toolbar which doesn't work (well) on the preferences anyways (for example, the Find In Page toolbar will only match text that uses textContent but not text that is set via a `label` attribute such as "Show your home page").
