Yeah, but I forget what it is. If you search for "quote search firefox disable" on google, you should get the answer.

Must be a windoze thing ... no such action
with Firefox on Solaris8,Sun Sparc.
Of course, there are many many builds, also.
The Mozilla help forum is pretty decent ... try that.

b
is it the search box?
If so...Tools/Options/Advanced and uncheck "Begin finding when you begin typing"
Also disable "allow text to be selected with the keyboard" While you there.

There was also an upgrade that rolled out yesterday to version- rv:1.8.0.8) Firefox/1.5.0.8

Then to try and fight off these nastys that Firefox is not susceptible to you can spend about $80 and load a resource pig like Norton products and watch your computer drop to it's knees.

AVG is the best free program right now...it's got a perfect record with me for almost five years now...only problem is it's gonna go cost in January. I think it's super cheap though...under $35.
