Good time of the day!
When implementing an application on html5 + canvas, I needed to intercept keyboard keypress events and store them inside the application. However, in Firefox, if quick search is enabled, clicks are intercepted by quick search.

How to programmatically (JavaScript, css) disable quick search in Firefox9 for a website page?
Thank you.

If in a function (I have it onKeypress) make a call to event.preventDefault();
then Firefox quick search is not called

I don't think so. Application hotkeys, logically, should be prioritized over any open pages there.

Well, how are you intercepting now?

Like this:
$(document).keypress(onKeypress);
And if the fast user option is not enabled, then everything works fine.

Don't you think this state of affairs is more than logical? Maybe you also want to intercept from the address bar? =)
