Well it's a limitation of Firefox - its webpage APIs don't allow web-extensions to search text in textarea
s which GitHub uses to "display code"

firefox ctrl+f
is able to find text in that.
because ctrl-f doesn't use Firefox's webpage API

wouldn't it be possible to use that instead of firefox's webpage API?
No. it is conflicted with many features of Vimium C's FindMode, including regexp-finding.

I guess then it can only be resolved by intervention of Mozilla itself. Issue on Bugzilla.
@gdh1995 Issue
Please check this out once.
I know the API of browser.find.*
but it's conflicted with many features of Vimium C's FindMode, including regexp-finding. So Vimium C won't use it.
using firefox
code inside this github block is not searchable if using
/
to search
