Whatever it's actually called, "Quick Find" or "Find-As-You-Type", it is driving me completely nuts. I first noticed it on a wiki website, where I'd click on the search bar, start typing, and I'd get exactly one character down before suddenly the bar I associated with pressing "Ctrl+F" would pop up and hijack my typing. It happens extremely often but unpredictably. It also happens when opening a new tab and typing in the address bar. Sometimes, the "Ctrl+F" bar doesn't pop up, but the screen still bounces around "finding" the letters I'm typing. I have no idea what the difference is. After a few halfhearted google searches describing the problem, I quickly discovered this is a Firefox feature. Every single help thread I could find involved going into the Options menu and finding the feature, and unchecking it. It took some further googling to find out where this option was, but I found it. Tools>Options>General>Browsing>Search for text when you start typing The problem is, the option was already unchecked. It always was unchecked. It has never been checked. And yet it KEEPS ON FINDING AS I TYPE. The level of my frustration is causing me emotional distress at this point. I've used Firefox for DECADES and now I'm considering switching to Chrome if this doesn't stop because I cannot handle this.
