Pressing either the apostrophe key or the tilde key is crashing Firefox. It's also happening in other internet browsers and programs (like Skype and Google Talk). I've tried a new keyboard and using different USB ports for it. The first time I tried a new USB port it temporarily fixed the problem, but after restarting my computer for updates the issue returned.

Firefox, the plugins, add-ons and drivers are all up to date from what I can tell.

do the crashes occur too when you run firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode? (close all firefox windows & press the shift key while launching firefox again)

probably not related - there's a new version of the flash plugin available. you can install it from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ (disable the checkbox for bundled software)
