Type about:config in the address bar > press Enter
- click 'Accept the risk and continue' if that appears
Search for and set these preferences to false:
accessibility.typeaheadfind
accessibility.typeaheadfind.manual

You can disable Quick Find by typing about:config in the Firefox address bar and searching for accessibility.typeaheadfind. Change its value to false, and pressing the “/” key will stop opening Quick Find. Hisabulhamal also mentioned this issue before, so hopefully Firefox makes this easier to control in future updates.
