On a multipane web page, how do I make Firefox search in the pane I want?

Morbus replied

When I search (Ctrl-F) on a multipane page, FF always searches in the leftmost pane, ignoring all others -- even if I click in the desired pane before typing Ctrl - F.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== FF has always behaved this way
