118121 - Set preferences for "Find in this Page".

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 103125

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.7+)

I prefer to have "Wrap around" set when searching for text on Web pages, so I
always click on it whenever I use the feature.  This setting is remembered
within each session, but is forgotten once Mozilla is exited and started again.
 It would be nice if there were some way of making this a default, through the
UI, manually editing prefs.js, a "Remember these settings." addition to the Find
in this Page dialogue, or by having the options simply be sticky by default.

I've done some searches but have found nothing on this subject, nor have I had
any reply to some Newsgroup postings I made.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a Web page.
2.Hit <Ctrl>-F.  Note that none of the options are checked.
3.Check one.  Do a search.
4.Close the Find dialogue.
5. Hit <Ctrl>-F again.  Note that the option is still checked.
6.Exit and re-open Mozilla.  Note that the option check box is no longer checked.

Actual Results:  The check boxes forget their state between sessions.

Expected Results:  The check boxes retain their state between sessions.

Hmm.  This MAY be a dupe of bug 91520, but I'm not sure.  Although I talk mainly
about "Wrap around", this bug covers the others too ("Match upper/lower case"
and "Search backwards" - although setting the latter would have very dubious
benefits).  Bug 91520 seems to be talking ONLY about "Wrap around".  If it
covers all 3 prefs then its Summary should be amended to be something similar to
that for this bug.  (Doing an intuitive search for "find preferences" did not
produce a hit on it as I would have expected.)

Find dialog, so over to XPApps: GUI Features.
