When using Firefox, there's a hidden feature which I only found out about last week. You can restrict to search to your own open tabs. This avoids you opening the same site multiple times because

I found this out from Antony Ricaud's tweet below after Simon picked up on my own tweet when I discovered this nifty little feature.
