Description
Sometimes it seems that the find mode doesn't work in Incognito mode.
My environment is :
Windows 10 Home 64bit
Google Chrome v58.0.3029.81
and
Vivaldi v1.9.818.44
Reproduce :
- Open https://github.com/philc/vimium with Incognito mode.
- Hitting "/" and "vimium", it highlights "vimium" of repository name correctly.
- Hitting "Enter", HUD remains at the lower right of page.
Inspector shows...

Reproduce the issue by opening the Vimium GitHub page in Incognito mode on Chrome or Vivaldi, then use / to search for vimium and press Enter. Inspect the lower-right HUD as shown in the linked screenshot; done means the find mode completes instead of leaving the HUD visible.
