Firefox: don't allow websites to override the / (slash) key
Some websites override the behavior of the '/' key in Firefox. Normally this opens the incremental search toolbar at the bottom of the page. But on some websites it places the cursor in a search box on the site itself. How can I prevent this?
Solution 1:
This Q is definitely addressed by the comments, so I'll rehash in a useful way:
You can disable gmail's shortcuts with Mail Settings
-> General
-> Keyboard Shortcuts
if that's interferring.
You can always use ctrl
+F
or just the '
(apostrophe character) too.
If you have further examples, put some out there, but I haven't found this behavior.
