F6 does not "Focus Search Field in Library" any longer?
Hello, when in the library, pressing F6 is meant to "Focus Search Field". This is documented at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly
However, since a recent update this no longer works. Instead, pressing F6 now switches the keyboard focus to the lefthand tree pane. A further press of shift+tab is needed to move to the search box.
My questions are: Has F6 stopped jumping to the library search box for anyone else? If so, was this a deliberate design choice? Does anyone know of an alternate keyboard shortcut to jump to the searchbox? Finally, is there anyway to revert to the old F6 behaviour?
Even if you can only answer the first question that would help, so I can determine whether or not it is just my Firefox. Although I have already tested in a brand new profile with the same results.
Thanks.

This regression has been reported and is being investigated. For now you can use Ctrl+F.

One off bump.
Can anyone confirm whether or not pressing F6 while in the library still takes them to the search box at the top, as it should? Or does it now also take them to the left hand tree pane, as it does with me?
Thanks.

This got fixed in Nightly 129, but they decided not to uplift to 128 beta (next week's release) possibly because there are workarounds. It hasn't been decided whether to fix this for ESR 128 (next ESR cycle), hopefully they do because otherwise ESR will suffer for a whole year.
I hope they do fix it for ESR. Yes technically there is the workaround of using ctrl+F instead, but that requires either two hands, or a bit of dexterity with one hand. potentially disappointing if you are used to being able to just press a single key.
