Make tab search like Chrome's

[mozmoon]

I use Chrome for work and Firefox for personal on my computers, and I'm always annoyed by Firefox's tab search after coming from Google Chrome, which has an AWESOME tab search - *just click once on the little little arrowhead at top right and start typing! :)*

The tab search was a game changer for me since I use so many of them (yes, too many). I discovered it on Chrome and was happy to find that Firefox has one too, but I always feel as though someone has tripped me up when I try to use Firefox's tab search. It's just not as user friendly, and I can't understand why.

Mozilla, get with the program!!

I assume chromes tab search also only looks at tab titles, just as firefox one, so i'll leave this here, since people who might use these search functions might like to be able to search inside the page context too.

Sorry if it's a little off-topic.

@Anonymous - I suppose people might also like to be able to search inside the page content too, but that’s not what I am requesting and I would only want that additional function if it were additional - an extra option that could be activated selectively, otherwise it would yield a ton of extra returns that would clutter the search results. I am only asking for the text in the tabs to be searchable, as it is now in Firefox. I simply want it to be easier/faster. Now in Firefox, it takes two clicks - first on the arrowhead at right, then in the field in the middle, then you can type, whereas in Chrome, as I said, you just click on the arrowhead and start typing. When using this tool a lot, that little difference is big.
