How can I get a new search box for each new tab?
When I open a new tab, I would like a new, dedicated search box that is owned by it. This would help to keep the context preserved when doing searches on multiple, separate topics. Is there a way to configure this or an add-on to do it?

You can do this by using the default about:home page with the Google search and place it in a new tab. You can try to reset the prefs that do that to see if it'll reverse the action
- Navigate to about:config in your Address Bar
- Press the "I'll be careful, I promise!" button to proceed
- Search for "browser.newtab.url"
- Right click and Modify it, replace "browser.newtab.url" with about:home
Is that good?
This is a useful workaround... thanks very much!
What I was looking for is a dedicated search box for each tab. This would make it possible to instantly see why the tab was opened when multiple searches across many tabs are being done. Is there any way to customize the tab and search box behavior where this is possible?
