Harters1597507500 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Posted November 19, 2009 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? Dan Quote
DavidOps Posted November 19, 2009 Report Posted November 19, 2009 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. Quote
Anne1599968726 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Posted November 19, 2009 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. Quote

high.as.a.kite Posted November 20, 2009 Report Posted November 20, 2009 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. Quote
