When I use google calculator and want to divide something by pressing "/", the bar of "quick search" immediately appears, preventing me from working with a calculator further. Help me please. This is very annoying.

Type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key to open the about:config page like you open a website by typing the URL in the location bar.

  • if you see a warning message then you can confirm that you want to access the about:config page.

See:


  • use the Search bar at the top of the about:config page to locate preferences more easily
  • preferences that have been modified and do not have the default value show as bold (user set)
  • preferences that are user set (bold) can be reset to the default value via the right-click context menu
  • preferences can be modified via Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean) in the right-click context menu and by double-clicking the line with the pref
  • preferences can be created via the right-click context menu: New -> String, Integer, Boolean
