Firefox problem

[Harters1597507500]

So occasionally when I type the ' symbol, it comes up with a quick find bar at the bottom of my browser and doesn't actually let me type ' as you can see it's worked here however I don't know if it's some random hot key that I can turn off or something....? Can anyone help?

Yeah, It's the shortcut to quickfind, must happen if the focus jumps off the text box you're typing in.

 

Odd, but not insurmountable. Just click back into the text box and continue typing.

You should use Firefox.

Oh I used to get that! Can't remember how I fixed it though, besides mashing the escape button

If I remember the long-term fix I'll let you know.

Yeah I've done that and it's de-selected and it still appears so I came here to see if anyone else had any ideas but cheers for wasting your time doing what I've already done.

Put http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/searchhotkeys-FF3-0.1.5.xpi in your address bar and install the add-on.

After a restart I found that the ' and / keys no longer brought up the quick find.
