680614 - Copy Google Chrome's implementation of Ctrl+F ("Find" in a page)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 655246

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, enhancement)

Description

[Nick]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:6.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0
Build ID: 20110812102111

Steps to reproduce:

Firefox's current Find function (Ctrl+F) as implemented in version 6 is virtually useless. It desperately needs improvements.


Actual results:

The items Ctrl +F does find in Firefox are often highlighted in non-viewable screen areas only accessible by scrolling. There's no list count of how many appearances of the item are on the page (e.g., 1 of 5). The items that are present are not automatically highlighted. A toolbar appears across the whole bottom of the screen as opposed to a small box in the corner.


Expected results:

Will Mozilla PLEASE copy everything about Google Chrome's Find (Ctrl +F) feature? Google Chrome's Find feature is superb! Everything about it is functionally and visually excellent.

I'm dying for this design to be implemented into Firefox.
