294532 - accessibility.typeaheadfind.disablefindbar being ignored

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

Somewhere, probably in here somewhere (though I did a search for findbar and
didn't find anything), it was suggested to use
accessibility.typeaheadfind.disablefindbar=false to stop the findbar from
popping up when entering apostrophes in text fields.  That's been working great,
but in the last couple of versions, it seems like it's sporadically being
ignored, as I occasionally have the findbar pop up anyhow.  It's worse on 1.0.4
it seems.  I restarted Firefox, and it's working ok as I enter this (though only
in the text field --- if I click outside the field and type ', it still pops up,
which is ok).

Reproducible: Sometimes

There is no such thing as disablefindbar pref. Both Google and LXR return
nothing when searching for it. See bug 258285 for problems with Find Toolbar
popping up when it shouldn't.
