One "new" feature that I do not like is that the "find bar" is no longer shared between tabs. As a result, if searching for text on multiple tabs, it is necessary to open it on each tab. As a result, it is necessary to open the find bar manually when searching multiple tabs.
The keyboard shortcut Ctrl + F opens the find bar. Another option is to install an extension that enhances search options. There are two extensions that I am aware of that include the search all tabs function along with additional functionality:
What’s New
- NEW -- Web Audio support
- NEW -- The find bar is no longer shared between tabs
- CHANGED -- If away from Firefox for months, you now will be offered the option to migrate another browser's history and settings
- CHANGED -- Resetting Firefox no longer clears your browsing session
- DEVELOPER -- CSS3 background-attachment:local support to control background scrolling
- DEVELOPER -- Many new ES6 functions implemented
- HTML5 -- iframe document content can now be specified inline
- FIXED -- Blank or missing page thumbnails when opening a new tab
- FIXED -- 24.0: Security fixes can be found here
Update
To get the update now, select "Help" from the Firefox menu at the upper left of the browser window, then pick "About Firefox." Mac users need to select "About Firefox" from the Firefox menu.If you do not use the English language version, Fully Localized Versions are available for download.
