User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0b12) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b12

When using "Quick Find" and the searched string is an hyperlink, the link URL preview at the bottom will show over the searched string if the string was below the current scroll view of the web page when the search started.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the URL provided
2. Start "Quick Find" ("/" keyboard shortcut)
3. Type "warning"
Actual Results:  
The page scrolls to the point where a "Warning" string exists but since it's an hyperlink the URL preview covers it.

Expected Results:  
It should somehow try to scroll in a way that the URL preview (or possibly other chrome elements) don't cover what the user is looking for.

Alternatively the search results could be presented in some other way?
Fixed in latest nightly, please try Firefox 4 RC when it is released (few days).
