I'm a very loyal Firefox user, but I have to say that Chrome's Find feature kicks the shit out of FF's. It highlights all instances as I'm typing, saving me lots of time. It also indicates where in the document the text occurs, by displaying horizontal bars in the scroll bar. Please emulate this functionality!!

Agreed, it would be a great feature.
We already have a bug logged for this:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=259640
It includes a link to an extension that puts lines in the border just to the right of the scrollbar.

That reminds me : I find it inconvenient that, when I'm clicking the
find Down arrow and looking at the found text, I see no indication of
when it goes back to the top. I don't see the vertical thumb move up,
or the text at the bottom, because I am not looking there.
How about readily-selectable options :
(1) As it now is,
(2) An extra click is needed before it goes to the other end,
(3) A suitable sound,
(4) It takes one (by default) second to smooth-scroll between locations,
accelerating over the first half and decelerating over the second
half. which will give some idea of the distance travelled.
