planet48 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I've searched the help base and the forum and can't find any mention of this. I get the annoying-to-me "Quick Find" search bar a lot at the bottom of my screen, when I begin to type something in a form online or other times when I haven't requested "quick find" (not that I know how to start it). I want to DISABLE it. I am perfectly happy with my CTRL + F find function, which I use intentionally and doesn't just pop up and accept my typing without my permission. How do I turn off this "Quick Find" function? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kluelos Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I don't know of any way to disable it, but I've never had it intercept me when filling out a form, or indeed at any time. I had to deliberately click outside of a form and start typing in an inappropriate spot to get it to appear, in order to confirm what you're talking about. I'd never seen it before. If you don't start typing in the wrong spot, there's apparently no problem. I gather you do that a lot? There may be an add-on that disables it, but I've never looked for one, so I don't know.. This is behaviour inherited from Firefox, so you will probably have better luck asking on their forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planet48 Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 No, I don't type things in the wrong spots a lot lol. It happens also when I'm trying to use the CTRL ++ and CTRL +- to zoom text in and out. Well since you don't know any way to turn the idiotic thing off, I'll try the Firefox forums. Thanks anyway.

planet48 Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 (edited) planet48, Welcome to the forum. B)... Thanks for the welcome and the easy instructions to turn off the "quick find." Sure I care what you think; I might turn it back on and see if it's useful in long artlices, as you suggested. Thanks also for the info about pages loading; if it happens frequently, I will let my ISP know. You've been real helpful. Namaste! :D and gracias! :D Edited November 15, 2009 by greywizard Removed full qutation (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kluelos Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Of course, if YOU are the one overloading your connection with a bittorrent transfer in the background, you might not want to complain to the ISP about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
