Increase quick search timeout
How can I adjust the timeout of the "Search when I start typing" feature? After 3-4 seconds, all highlights disappear and I must press ctrl+F to bring them back.

In addition to the above :
Should you want to disable it altogether :
Type in the address bar about:config (press Enter)
Type in the search bar timeout
Look for the preference accessibility.typeaheadfind.enabletimeout
and set its value to false
Close and restart Firefox, in order for the change to take effect.

You can look at this pref on the about:config page and increase its value to see if that helps.
- accessibility.typeaheadfind.timeout = 5000
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
