"Search for text when you start typing" is one of the settings in "Settings -> General -> Browsing".

I came here to ask a question myself and noticed yours. If you're saying that the highlight appears no matter whether "Search for text when you start typing" is enabled or not, I agree. The tick box state seems to make no difference. I have always left that option enabled and never noticed this until now.

I had a brief look and don't see this on the Firefox bugtrack. You are are apparently the first person to report it. Do you feel up to opening a new ticket? I think you would start here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi#h=dupes|Firefox

You can look at these prefs on the about:config page to disable FAYT for cases like ' and / to open Quick Find for links.
