This is bug #505196 and is a result of implementing the Find toolbar in place of the Find dialogue popup. You can restore the popup by setting the preference variable browser.findbar.enabled to "false". The popup still has the Wrap checkbox. See <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=505196>. I prefer using user.js so that I can use comments to annotate preference variable changes. I used: user_pref("browser.findbar.enabled", false); // turn off Find toolbar (bug #505196) Unfortunately, the popup no longer remembers either the Wrap checkbox setting or the Match Case checkbox setting. It defaults to Wrap (checked) and case-insensitive (unchecked). Remembering these settings is restored via the Find Preferences extension at <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/find-preferences/>. Note that the recently implemented capability to center the results of a Find vertically does not work with the Find dialogue popup. This is bug #748991. See <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748991>. All this is another case of developers implementing "features" without any regard to how end-users actually use the product. -- David E.
