Search open tabs from AwesomeBar using % in front of the term isn't working in FF 35. Is this an issue, or am I missing something?
Numerous pages reference this procedure to search open tabs but only a new tab opens. I've tried this from both url (address) bar and search bar without success without success. Does the AwesomeBar need to be enabled or is there something else I'm doing wrong?

I found references to the percent operator here:

https://plus.google.com/+firefox/posts/GFdB534oWEK (these both say the operator goes in front of the term)
(But this clarified things for me) and in the page you cited, further down in 'Changing results on the fly
If you are looking for a specific type of result, like a bookmark or tag, you can speed up the process of finding it by typing in special characters [after] each search term in the location bar separated by spaces: ...
The results are quite specific.
My difficulty was that I had made no connection at all to the autocomplete and wasn't looking there for results but instead pressing enter. No wonder. These are little gems for my purposes. Thanks for your help Curtis.

Hi skippdiddly,
Do you have the URL's that mention this? The closest thing I can think of is the "Switch to tab" feature.
Take a look at this page Address bar autocomplete suggestions in Firefox the section labeled "Switch to tab" shows an example of what it looks like.
Thanks, Curtis
