Steps to reproduce:

  1. Type '%' in the Awesome Bar and start searching for open tabs;

Actual results:

Only matching tabs that are in the same container as the current tab are found.

Expected results:

Include matching tabs from other containers.

Component: Untriaged → Search

Finding matching tabs across all containers is much more useful and user-friendly. Otherwise, the user would need to remember which container the tab that they are trying to find belongs to, and click to a tab in that container to start searching.

If the current behaviour is due to some security consideration, maybe provide a separate way that would search across all containers, while still blocking the pages from knowing what you are searching?
