In older SeaMonkey versions, there was an option not to repeat the
search from the top (assuming top to the bottom) after reaching the end.
Is there a way to bring this back for find?
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>.
Voted.
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/>.
IIRC, v2.0.14 had that problem too. It wasn't too bad.
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>.
Ugh. Maybe I will just stick with the annoying default one. :(
All this is another case of developers implementing "features" without
any regard to how end-users actually use the product.
YES! Did they not even do any usability testings? Thanks. [sighs] It
makes me want to go back to my older version even though it has poor
JavaScript/JS performance issues with a few web sites/pages that I
recently mentioned. I noticed more and more are doing it too so I might
as well jump to the latest versions. Ugh. I am surprised we still have
these annoying problems with v2.10.1! I waited this long for that reason
too. :( I even looked at other web browsers, but I wasn't happy with
them. I still like SeaMonkey.
