Find bar revert

In FF25 the Find function (Ctrl-F) was changed for some reason.

I used to have 20 tabs open and then switch from one to the next using Ctrl-PgDn and Alt-N to check for occurrences of a specific text in those tabs.

This helped me go through chunks of texts quickly without having to constantly switch between keyboard and mouse. In other words: the availability of both input methods was what did it for me.

This is now missing. Is there any way of revertiing to the Find function of FF24? Thanks

Alt+n no longer finds next. In the tab-specific bar, if you come to a tab where the bar is not displayed, pressing F3 or Ctrl+g will open the bar and find the first match for the last search (the last search in a currently open tab). If your muscle memory is too strong to switch to one of those keys, hopefully the add-on suggested by Waka_Flocka_Flame will work for you.
