How do i disable the quickfind hotkey "/"?
I have searched, read up, and attempted many tricks to stop "/" from pulling up the quick find menu. However, nothing seems to work for me. On certain websites (with poor interfaces), the "/" key opens up the quick find menu, despite a text field being selected. Is there a workaround to disable it? I tried saka key, as suggested by mozilla support pages
but it did not seem to address this issue specifically.
I tried entering many variations of the disable searchkeys command in about:config but they didn't work either.
Does anyone know a fix?
