find bar
The Find Bar does not stay open when I open a new tab. It has to be opened for each individual tab which is very annoying. Can the setting for this be changed?

Hey Jennica, use this addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/tag/find%20in%20tabs It unifies the search on all tabs

Thanks!

My 2 Cents, on Quick Find and the change in the Find Toolbar.
The particular addon
- FindBar Tweak https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/findbar-tweak
Looks useful. One feature is apparently reversing the single tab search change, so it answers this specific question. However I am not certain it currently works as intended. I tried it quickly and for me it did not seem to reverse the function change in Firefox 25
