How can the "quick find" feature be disabled in a web app? For
example, I use Gmail and for any keyboard shortcuts that involve more
than one key, for example, g then i for Go to Inbox, the quick find
dialogue comes up.

This is a known bug (at least I knew about it) but I couldn't find
anything filed in Bugzilla, so you might want to file a bug.

Add this to your prefs.js in your web app folder:

user_pref("accessibility.typeaheadfind", false);
user_pref("accessibility.typeaheadfind.flashBar", 0);

I've been having the same issue with Prism, in that I can't seem to
figure out how to disable quick-find. Where is the "web app" folder
that you are referring to?

Looking in my home directory/Application Data/WebApps/[webapp name]/
there doesn't seem to be a prefs.js file. I then created one however
this did not solve the problem. Are there any other places it should
go? prefs.json? Another directory?

Any help here is definitely appreciated.

I'm not an expert, but would it not be possible to include those two lines in your webapp.js script? Something to the effect of:
function startup() {

    user_pref("accessibility.typeaheadfind", false);
    user_pref("accessibility.typeaheadfind.flashBar", 0);
}

On a Mac, the prefs.js file is located inside the current profile directory - for example:
~Library/Application Support/[app name]/Profiles/[profile name]/prefs.js
