The find toolbar does not remember what it was finding when you click a new tab.
This is arguably a feature, and I couldn't find a dupe when searching the
database, but it does make it very hard to look for a certain text on many web
pages on different tabs (something I do a lot).
Try the steps to reproduce below.
If the toolbar is to have a memory specific to each tab there should ideally be
an option to have a global memory instead I think. This could even be checkbox
on the Find toolbar itself.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. search for something in google say
2. open the first 10 hits with CTRL+CLICK (new tabs
3. now go to the firts tab and press CTRL+F (to find text)
4. Type some text (which is not necessarily what you searched for in google)
5. Now click a new tab and try to find the same text
Actual Results:
You have to enter the find text again
Expected Results:
Remembered the find text from the previous tab
The severity is of course difficult to decide and I leave it to FireFox gurus to
recast the severity as needed (no doubt you will!)

Blake fixed this a few days ago, but I don't think he gave a bug number.
2004-10-17 builds were the first with the fix.
