Details

Steps to reproduce:

The "Find in page" feature doesn't work correctly with the "exclusive accordion" behavior in the <details> element (as implemented in bug 1856460).

When the same name attribute is used on multiple <details> elements, they behave like an accordion: only one can be open at a time; opening another automatically closes the others.

The "Find in page" feature in Firefox, as in all other browsers, automatically open <details> elements containing the search term.

This combination seems to be broken in Firefox.

Codepen example of an exclusive accordion: https://codepen.io/rsmeds/pen/xbGmMqo?editors=1010
To test, open "Find in page" and search for "Foo".

Actual results:

Firefox apparently tries to immediately open ALL <details> elements on the page can contain the search term. Because of the exclusive accordion behavior, however, only one can be open at a time, so each one is immediately closed again, with the result that only the LAST instance remains open. You actually cannot even reach the matches inside the other details by clicking through the search results.

Expected results:

In Chrome and Safari, <details> containing the term opened one at a time, as you traverse through search results, instead of trying to open all of them simultaneously.

Could be, or at least it’s similar. I’ll take a look. Thanks for reporting!
