Firefox is pissing me off

[Erdrick Holmes]

Everytime I type something and I hit the ' key it brings up the Find Text feature. This really annoys me when I'm trying to type something. How do I fix this?

You're probably not typing inside a textbox. When you type outside a textbox, firefox searches for it on the page.


Otherwise.
Check in the advanced tab in the options, which is under tools.
Turn off begin finding when I begin typing.

[Erdrick Holmes]

I can't find that.

Joel. Go Tools > Options > and then you're are in the Advanced section. You probably have the <i>Accessibility: Begin finding when you begin typing</i> checked off. That's the first thing on there.

Hmm, that seems to work, thanks.

That happens? Wow! That's even cool, and why the heck would you hit the ' key on purpose in the first place?

Because some of us like to properly punctuate our posts? :D

Firefox is teh ghey...but this isn't why.

[Old Manus]

It's because Firefox is for wimps.

[Erdrick Holmes]

CRAP. It's still doing it, to does this only when I post a comment on an LJ now. I can't properly punctuate anymore.

I've never had a problem with it, except when I was trying to type with the wrong area selected.

I use ' all the time:P It like almost completely replaces the double quotes for me.

Simply stop using Firefox, and start using Opera.
