This doesnt work on default Firefox, as when you start typing it automatically brings up the Ctr-F search box and starts typing in there :(

Disable "Search for text when you start typing" in the settings.

This 'feature' is so infuriating, as many websites have shortcuts that become unusable from this. There is nothing wrong with CTRL + F total idiotic feature to have on by default.

Coming from the other side, an annoying number of websites use '/' to focus their own search box, while I am used to using it to activate quick-search, which it's bound to by default. It's like the ctrl-f search, but disappears when it loses focus.
