Why the hell does my apostrophe key bring up Firefox's "find" feature?
« on: Friday, September 15, 2006, 09:29:11 PM »
It's never done that before.  And... okay, WTF?  It just stopped!

'''''''

That's the weirdest thing ever.  It was doing it for like 15 minutes.  Closing the program didn't help, etc.  Then I made this thread, and it just stopped.

Today is just stupid.

I spilled beer on my keyboard once (ok, like three times) and after it dried off some keys would either not work or think they were other keys.  It sucked....I couldn't run in half life two or bf1942 for like a month.

Why not just get a new keyboard instead of being some slow moving person.

That's happened to me a couple times too. I think it may be a little bug. closing Firefox, and then reopneing it always fixes it though.

Heh... no idea.  Actually, I used to have "Find when I start typing" enabled, but it kept bugging out on me with sites with text boxes and it started searching instead of typing in the text box so I had to disable it.
