    Using the Windows Firefox latest version of the Tor Browser, if I control+F search for, oh, say, "A", and then F3, one by one, through a score of tabs
    to run the same search, Firefox efficiently remembers the same search term (which is good) so that I only have to type that search term once.

    Each subsequent tab is the same search with an efficient use of the F3 key.

    Why do you want to do this? 12 searches of the same?

    To make that a bit more efficient, I can add to that workflow an AutoHotkey script (perhaps mapped to a key like F2) that executes
    Ctrl+F, Ctrl+V & then Escape
    Pressing that once per tab pastes "B" into the bar and updates that tab's memory without us having to spell it out (as "B" can be rather complex).

    And why not:

    Ctrl+F Ctrl+C Escape Ctrl+TAB Ctrl+F Ctrl+V Escape

    This copies the search string from the current tab,
    switches to the next tab and inserts the search string.
