So Firefox is starting to be an annoying bastard.
Sometimes when I'm typing, when I want to type and apostrophe, a little quick find bar appears at the bottom.
It doesn't happen consistently but it's so damn annoying when it does happen.
Does anyone know how I can fix this issue?
Has this happened to anyone else?

There is probably a way to disable quick find entirely, but I'm afraid I couldn't tell you how.

Singlequote starts quick find also.
Actually BOTH open up and direct the cursor to Quick Find (both / and ').
But this only happens if you're not in a text field in Firefox.
OP: Honestly, I'd unplug your keyboard and plug it back in.
Drives me fucking crazy, and I wish they'd fix it already.

Worked yesterday but seems to be down now. Google for similar pages.
Whenever I get the apostrophe bug, I also can't use the arrow keys to move the cursor thingy in text boxes. Does this happen to anyone else?

but don't post anything there unless you have some new clue that will help identify why its happening.
This is a startling realization for me as well.
I had no idea what triggered it either. Knowing ' searches links and / searches text is awesome.
Also, you can force the quick find bar closed by hitting ESC.
