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?

My 2 Cents, on Quick Find and the change in the Find Toolbar.

The particular addon

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
