MadBuffaloDisease Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 When I use Firefox, sometimes I hit a wrong key (haven't noticed which one) and a "find" bar comes out at the bottom of the browser whenever I press the "/' key. Does anyone know how I can disable this FRICKIN' annoying thing? Thanks in advance.

sweet baboo Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 man, i never knew that the "/" key did that...very useful so i don't need to hit CTRL+F anyhoo, if you want to get rid of it, hit ESC
Dan Gross Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Ha! Don't think you can turn it off. A nod to nerds and the power of vi!
DieHardFan Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 If you hit F3 the same thing happens and the Help window opens if you hit F1... and this same damn problem happens in IE too. It's not an issue if you have focus on something that actually requires input (like this reply box. ///// / / See; no Find when I do it in here.) If you really want to get rid of it I hear that hitting the CNTL ALT and DEL keys simultaneously a couple of times will disable it.
