Where is the "search for text when i start typing" preference?
I have exactly the problem described in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1042093: whenever I press any keys on a page, it brings up the search bar, which breaks all kind of shortcuts / keypress handler set by the page.
However, I can't seem to find the option which is meant to turn this behaviour off.

Nevermind, turns out the option is called "search for text when you start typing" nowadays
You can possibly look at two other prefs on the about:config page to disable FAYT for cases like ' and / to open Quick Find for links.
- accessibility.typeaheadfind => false
- accessibility.typeaheadfind.autostart => false
- accessibility.typeaheadfind.manual => false
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can click the button to "Accept the Risk and Continue".
