You also can't disable find as you type by clearing the checkbox in
Options-Advanced-"Use find as you type" or setting accessibility.typeaheadfind
to false.
Setting accessibility.typeaheadfind.autostart=false isn't respected as well. It
still finds links.

It still finds links if you type / before the search string.
