User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008111317 Ubuntu/8.04 (hardy) Firefox/3.0.4 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008111317 Ubuntu/8.04 (hardy) Firefox/3.0.4 There should be a configurable option to let firefox give an alarm sound and/or open a popup when a search is wrapped. The text in the status bar can be easily overlooked. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a website 2. search and find a keyword 3. Press F3 to search again. Actual Results: If you type F3 fast to search for occurences of the keyword that occures often, you might not recognize that the search has been wrapped at the end of the page and search and search and search... Expected Results: Firefox should give a popup instead of silently wrapping the search, giving only a small notice in the status bar which you might not see. This should be configurable.
