Steps to reproduce:

I selected some text on a page, then pressed command+f on my keyboard to try and search for more occurrences of it.

Actual results:

The find-in-page toolbar appeared, but the text box was prefilled with what I'd searched for previously rather than the text I had just selected on the page.

To search for the text I have selected, I instead need to do cmd+c cmd+f cmd+v

Expected results:

The text box for find in page should be pre-filled with any currently selected text on the page.
