Easily Search open tab titles, bookmarks & history using the Firefox Address Bar

If you are a tab hog having so many tabs open after a few minutes of working with the browser, then this trick becomes very useful for you.
There are instances that you come across, that you have so many tabs open in the Firefox browser and you have to traverse through each tab to find the correct tab. Especially when you have tabs lying outside your view of the tab bar. (Even if you customize the minimum width of your tabs to show more tabs within your tab bar, still you won’t be able to see the text in the tab title).
Firefox has a neat little trick that is built-in.
Go to the tab (Press ctrl+L) bar and type % followed by a space and then the text string that you want to search for.
