I can't disable the quick find tool at all
jscher2000 said
It's normal for the Quick Find bar to appear if you press the slash (/) key or apostrophe (') key on a page, if the cursor is not in a form field. If other characters are triggering it, you could check the following setting: "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options In the left column, click Advanced, then along the top make sure the General mini-tab is selected. If it's checked, clear the checkbox for "Search for text when I start typing" Was that it? More information on Quick Find: How to search the contents of the current page for text or links
There is no such field in my options. This functionality is extremely annoying and absolutely NONE of the solutions I found over internet works. It is extremely annoying and triggers just every damn time I press a keyboard key while I'm not in a text field.
Let, me, disable, that, damn, function!

Try pasting this in the address bar, then press Enter to load it:

If the selected mini-tab on the right side is not General, click General. Does your look different than the attached screenshot?
I do Have this field, but even if it's unchecked it still occurs quite frequently.
With the checkbox unselected, both / and ' will trigger the QuickFind bar. Other characters should not. Can you find any pattern to it?
A while back, I created a Greasemonkey userscript to intercept and ignore those two keyboard shortcuts outside of a form field of editable area. This could be generalized to discard other keys if there are particular ones that cause the problem.
You'll need the Greasemonkey extension first, then you can install the script:
- Greasemonkey: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/
- Script: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/13484-prevent-slash-opening-quickfind
(Note: the script attaches to a page as you load it, so if you are testing in a page you already have open, reload it.)
