That's not a bug, it's even documented as a keyboard shortcut in the Help. A while ago, there used to be a problem that find-as-you-type would start when you pressed ' in a textarea, but that has been fixed (bug 310719). ' will start find-as-you-type for link, / will start find-as-you-type for text. The preference item is for starting find-as-you-type without any of these keys.

This is intended behaviour. Apostrophe outside text boxes brings up the find bar, which then automatically closes if you don't use it. Instead, Ctrl+F will open it, but it will not close automatically. See http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/keyboard INVALID?
