I'm using macOS (Apple MacBook) where I'm running the latest stable version of Firefox: 112.0.
Based on https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1344663 I have already enabled the preference accessibility.typeaheadfind.prefillwithselection = true
But this only copies the selected text to the Find bar when I press Cmd-F. It doesn't automatically search the text. I then have to press the Return key or press Cmd-G to make it search and find the nearest match (and also update the number of matches, and update the highlighted results if Highlight All is enabled).
How can I skip the extra step and make it also search the selected text which it has copied and pre-filled in the Find bar? Is there another preference to control that? Or should I open a bug report in Bugzilla?
Here are my current settings with the keyword 'find':
accessibility.typeaheadfind false
accessibility.typeaheadfind.autostart true
accessibility.typeaheadfind.casesensitive 0
accessibility.typeaheadfind.enablesound true
