Search on screen bottom disappears when closing tab
With Firefox version 25.0 the behaviour of the "search" field (bottom left) seems to have changed: when I have multiple tabs opened and search i.e. in tab 1 for "search string" the other tabs don´t feature the same search. Instead I need to CTRL + F and enter the search string for every tab.
This slows down searching massively - typically you may open a bunch of Google links and then scan for the same search string.
Is there any setting I may use to overcome this? Or are there plans to revert to the "old style" behaviour?
Thanks a lot! Andreas

Yes, this is a change in Firefox 25. See http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/25.0/releasenotes/ under What’s New:
New | The find bar is no longer shared between tabs
Related bug report, where this behavior was changed:
- Bug 537013 - The find bar should exist on a per-tab basis
I haven't tried it myself but see comment 69 in the bug for a workaround (Read Bugzilla Etiquette before commenting in bugs):

The old behavior (global find bar) can be emulated through my add-on FindBar Tweak *, by disabling preference "Findbar starts closed in new tabs"
[*] Here's a link to the FindBar Tweak add-on, if you want to try it.

Note that you can also press F3 to open the Find bar in other tabs to repeat the search with the previously used search terms.
