Thread: Firefox is pissing me off

  1. #1

    Default Firefox is pissing me off

    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.

    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.

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

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    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.
