Oh...
OK.
But there is no need for Enter.

Ah. Perhapse when hitting Ctrl+F it give the focus to the search box and
Enter allow you to turn back the focus to the browser.
I don't have a version of Firefox anymore on hand.
So I can't test.

In fact I directly type search text in the browser page, without
pressing Ctrl+F before.
By this way, there is less problem.

But it's two different usages: one with a feedback (the blinking cursor
in the search box) and another more powerful (typing text by having
focus to the page) but less obvious.
