The new apostrophe quicksearch-function is a problem for me

Hello

There seems to be a new function that opens a quick search window when I press the apostrophe key. This function is active on many websites, and I am using Firefox 125.0.3 on a Macbook Air.

This new function makes it very difficult for me to practice touch typing in Firefox, and I would like to turn this function of.

Best regards Max Andersson

I don't think it's new. Try to enter abut:config in the address bar and set accessibility.typeaheadfind.manual = false
