Well, then you will have to hit some keys...

Thanks for the tip, though.  I didn't actually know about that one.

Tried that just now, nothing happened, just as I suspected.

It's an option in the preferences.  Advanced -> General -> Search for text when I start typing.

Then its probably either:
Not turned on by default
Or I turned if off because I dislike it.

Or ' despite the fact that sometimes FireFox doesn't know you're typing in a text entry box and will pick up that keystroke.  Bugged the !!HFS!! out of me until I figured out how to turn it off.</STRONG>

I can't figure out what keystroke it's hitting on to go back in the history: sometimes I'll start typing in a text field, and it'll go back as if I hit Backspace or Alt-leftarrow, despite the fact that I've hit neither. At first I thought it was backspace because I type that key a lot, but sometimes it does it just from starting to type. Maybe it's shift+ one of the letters, given that it seems to happen right at the beginning of typing.

Alternatively, I could just be missing the fact that I have hit Backspace, since it's practically a reflex by now. I'm serious, I am incapable of using certain alternative keyboard layouts because they have \ where the left half of the backspace key is, and therefore my text looks like tihs\\\his\\\\\\.

It's probably backspace.  I had that issue once too.
