Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 250429

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

Description

[Ng Ming Hong]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

In pre-1.0 Firefox, when you search a keyword (e.g. using FAYT), the keyword is
global. e.g. In tab A, I search for "abc". Then I switch to tab B, then I press
Ctrl + G, it searches for "abc" in tab B too.

However, since Firefox 1.0PR, the keyword is local in a tab. So in the previous
case, I can search for nothing in tab B because the keyword "abc" in local to
tab A only.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Search "abc" in tab A
2. Switch to tab B
3. Press Ctrl + G

Actual Results:  
No keyword ("abc" in this case) in the find toolbar.

Expected Results:  
Keyword "abc" should be pre-filled in the find toolbar.
