◆Firefox View now has a search function
Firefox has a page called ``Firefox View'' that allows you to view ``open tabs,'' ``recently closed tabs,'' ``tabs from other devices,'' and ``history.'' In Firefox 123, Firefox View has a search function, making it possible to quickly search on this screen.



Search is also installed on each screen of Firefox View, such as history.
