Find in page at about:addons

[lippiece]

Hello. With the considerable amount of addons, it becomes tedious to look through all the page to find the needed ones. To my surprise, I found out not only that Ctrl+F doesn't work as Find in page -- it selects the "Search addons.mozilla.org".

I find that counter-intuitive and wonder how to bring back the Find in page bar or if there are other ways to quickly search through the about:addons page.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Yes, they should fix this, but until then, I heard about a fun hack. Note: these keyboard shortcuts are for Windows.

1. Open a new tab (Ctrl+T)
2. Open the find bar (Ctrl+F)
3. Open the Add-ons page (Ctrl+Shift+A)

The add-ons page opens in that same tab and inherits the Find bar. You need to click in the bar to use it, Ctrl+F still moves the cursor to the other search box.
