Did switching tabs via ‘T’ pretty much stop working in Firefox with the update to FF 115 or so?

Description
I'm on Firefox Developer Edition, having recently updated it to 115.0b6. It seems that shift-t doesn't produce any results anymore—granted, I have the habit of opening hundreds of tabs, but that shouldn't really be a problem for the code. Seeing as Vimium-FF was last updated about half a year ago, seems that something in FF affected this behavior.
For now, just wanted to know if I'm the only one experiencing this, or it's indeed an issue for other users too.
To Reproduce
- Open some tabs, might need 400 of them or so.
- Press T on a page and type something that does occur in tab titles or addresses.
- Observe nothing appearing in the results.
Browser and Vimium version
Firefox: 115.0b6, build ID 20230615175802, on MacOS 10.14.
Vimium: 1.67.6, last updated January 10, 2023.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the tab-search failure with Firefox 115.0b6, Vimium 1.67.6, and a large tab set as described. Compare T and Shift-T behavior and identify whether results remain absent; done means tab search returns matching titles or addresses again under the affected Firefox setup.
