    Verified, 1.0.4 here, if you press the ' key without the quick reply box being selected it comes up with the find function..

    Actually, typing anything without having a text field selected will pop up the Find bar. And, wouldn't you know it, if you stop typing, it disappears after 5 seconds. So evidently, we're not selecting the text field properly. It's either that, or Firefox's focus tracking is a bit dodgy, which is entirely possible; I've seen other programs that insist they have focus (Flashing input caret and everything) despite a completely different program having focus in the foreground.

    Nope, it's only the ' key which triggers it for me, I know, I tried

    Edit: and the / key.. that's it, nothing else will trigger it other than an alt+f

    After reading this thread I checked the focus and it seems fine, its the key sequence thats causing a problem
