Type to search invokes regular search bar

Post by Negativeions »

Anyone know how to make the regular search bar appear instead of the quick search bar when you "search for text when you start typing."? Thanks.

Type a character in a non-text entry area the quick search pops up.
Use the menu bar and use /edit/find a different bar shows in the same location but with more controls.
If I understand you want to change this to the full search bar when you type a character or word in a non-text area?

@Grumpus Yes, I want the full search bar, with all the controls, to appear when I type a character or word in a non-text area. I think the quickfind bar is completely useless. What is the point in having 2 different find bars? The full find bar should always appear regardless of how or when I initiate a find...

Maybe you could ask Mozilla why? Mozilla Support
. . . or maybe one of the folks who write code for the userchrome.css file can help?
