Why does Firefox not obey my settings?
Hi There,
I have the box next to "Search for text when I start typing" in the Options-General unchecked.
But it still starts bringing up webpages as soon as I start typing.
I've tried turning it on then turning it off. It works for a very short time and then it reverts to searching every time (while the box remains unchecked).
Is this a problem anyone else has had/solved?
How do I look at Firefox more closely?
Thanks.

In order to be able to find the correct solution to your problem, we require some more non-personal information from you. Please do the following:
- Click the Firefox button at the top left, then click the Help menu and select Troubleshooting Information from the submenu. If you don't have a Firefox button, click the Help menu at the top and select Troubleshooting Information from the menu.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
- At the top of the page, you should see a button that says "Copy text to clipboard". Click it.
- Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.
If you need further information about the Troubleshooting information page, please read the article Use the Troubleshooting Information page to help fix Firefox issues.
Thanks in advance for your help!
"Search for text when I start typing" is Quick find where Firefox searches for text on a web page.
From your description it sounds that you are talking about the location bar drop-down list.
That should be:
- Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: History, Bookmarks, History and Bookmarks, Nothing
Hey Cor-el, it is the first one-'quick find' which is running regardless of my settings.
