How do I disable quick find.
Every time I turn around it messes me up. I'll be entering text into a msg usually, next thing I know is I've hit a particular key/letter and it jumps to quick find, deleted the text I've entered up to that point and I have to start all over again only to repeat the process. What a PITA feature this is.

The main "hotkey" for QuickFind is the slash key (/). The apostrophe (') opens a QuickFind limited to links. These keys should not activate QuickFind in a standard form editing control (like the basic textual controls on the forms on this site) but you may get different results in fancy editors.
I am not aware of a built-in way to disassociate these keys from QuickFind, but you could consider an add-on solution. You can search here: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/extensions/
Or... a while ago, I created a userscript as a workaround. A userscript is a little JavaScript program that you can inject into websites using a script manager extension. These are currently available for Firefox, but I've only tested it in Greasemonkey:
To avoid conflicts, I think only one of those should be enabled at any given time.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
