One caveat - I am one of the people for whom the cursor doesn't immediately focus the search box, and it can be a bit infuriating sometimes to press the shortcut only to have to move the mouse anyway. Windows 8.1 FF 57.0.4. Still a keeper for adding basic functionality the browser lacks, and for going some way towards mitigating the issues of having hundreds of tabs!

If you're comfortable with coding and building an npm project, you can try: you can try extending the timeout values in this function https://github.com/reblws/tab-search/blob/master/src/core/pages/popup/side-effects.js#L81in focusSearchInputWorkaround and see if that might help.
