_disables hotkeys /'- for the search bar_
*premise:* Firefox has this 'feature' to bring up the search bar when you type the slash, / (or ' and - for subtypes of the search)
I was told it stems from unix applications, while nowadays virtually every application on probably every OS supports the search by typing Ctrl+F. Hence, this way to open the search bar is kinda obsolete, if not annoying. (your opinion may differ)
*Kill The Slash* is a userscript that catches these 'hotkeys', disables the popping up of the search bar.
