Apostrophe on keyboard

[johncedarhill]

I finally discovered one (one of many ) of my problems when keyboarding. Why is it that when I hit the apostrophe I get directed to the search menu in a pop up window in the lower left of the screen? Any thoughts on this. I cannot type in can(apostrophe)t.

do you have a programmable keyboard if so it may have that key set up to pull up a search menu

just a regular keyboard with numeric pad as far as I know.

standard keyboard per control panel. Apostrophe does the same thing in att yahoo mail. Any ideas?

I assume you are using Firefox?  Because I used to have this happen quite often.  How old is your Firefox?

Highly recommend updating to the latest version, if that does not work then try:

(open url:) about:config

Then find:

    accessibility.typeaheadfind.flashBar user set integer 0

and change that 0 to a 1

Yep Firefox with an update this morning. I will give changing it a try but I might need a little help.

You are my computer guru--thanks '''''''''''''''--love that apostrophe. Which sort of begs the question why the default is not an apostrophe.
