Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 250429

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914 Firefox/0.10.1

2 things: 
first, when I normally google things I get a google list and middle click
several links to open that url up in new tabs.  then I go from tab to tab
searching for the keywords.  before firefox .10 I was able to hit the / key then
type in my words.  I could then close the tab and hit ctrl+g (find next) in a
new tab and search for the same word.  I could do this for as many tabs as I had
open without retyping the string I wanted to search for in each tabbed window. 
with this new type ahead window that pops up at the bottem of the screen, I
can't do it anymore.  it's driving me nuts, not the window at the bottom, but
retyping my search string at each tab.

second, is there a way to turn off this window, I was perfectly content to not
have it there and it's getting in the way more than it's helping.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
open up several tabs and search for a string on that tab, close the tab and hit
ctrl+g in the new tab.  the find window pops up instead of finding the string.

Actual Results:  
you shouldn't have to retype in the string again.

Expected Results:  
it should find the string you previously searched for.
