IN fire fox, the hot key for search text is '. How do I turn off this annoying little feature. Sometimes when I am on web sites and typing in boxes, it won't let me type ' without the search bar coming up at the bottom of the screen, and subsequently, all my following text being submitted to the search box.

Don't you see a little "X" next to "Find:" at the bottom of the screen? That gets rid of it for me.

I do yes. It works for me too! But as soon as I press ' again it reappears. I want to be able to use the apostrophe but this hot key won't let me. Is there any way of turning hot keys off in Firefox?

Edit: Your rubber mask and lycra suit is making me all awkward. Wuff.

~ Go to the link me and Dr S. posted
~ Right click on the "for Firefox 2.0" option and select "Save Link As"
~ Save the file somewhere easy to find (eg: on your desktop)
~ Launch Firefox, go File > Open File (Or just Ctrl + O)
~ Find the XPI file you downloaded and open it
~ Install extension

No more Quick Find

Alternative :

First, go to www.editplus.com and download the trial of EditPlus & install....this is a developers version of Notepad.
I would also encourage you to get WinRar.

Close Firefox.
Go to c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\chrome\
Find the cabinet file called toolkit.jar and open it (with WinRar).
Drill down into Content\Global, and find the file findBar.js.

Open that file with EditPlus, and change the lines:
(You might need to pull the file from the .jar to your desktop, edit it there, then drop it back into the .jar.

const CHAR_CODE_SLASH = “/”.charCodeAt(0);
const CHAR_CODE_APOSTROPHE = “‘”.charCodeAt(0);

to :

const CHAR_CODE_SLASH = “”.charCodeAt(0);
const CHAR_CODE_APOSTROPHE = “”.charCodeAt(0);

Or you could change the hotkeys to something you want, instead of them being blank as I've shown here.
Hope it helps
