Description
Describe the bug
Can't alternate between the matches of my query using "n" or "N".
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Launch find mode
- Type my query
- Type enter
- Type "n" or "N"
It seems nothing is happening.
Unmapping the letters "n" and "N" didn't change a thing.
On some sites, typing "n" fires the command mapped to the letter "n" (in my case goForward).
Browser and Vimium version

Research direction
Reproduce the problem in Vimium's find mode using the listed Chrome or Brave versions, then trace the find-mode handling for the n and N keys and their interaction with mapped commands. Done means n and N alternate through matches after a query is submitted without triggering commands such as goForward.
