The Quick Find Link shortcut is the apostrophe key, only: ' BIG problem: when i am typing in a text editor, and want to use the ', I typically only get the quick find link opening up, and can not use this character in my text. I notice this isn't happening right now in your text box, but is does happen in Basecamp and other applications. How can I actually use the ' key for text? Thanks in advance.

Here is an extension that fixes Firefox so that only {Ctrl + F} opens and closes the Find Bar.

Personally, I have never had ' trigger the Find Bar on W2K, WinXP, or 3 different Linux distros - on any version of Firefox since the Find Bar was introduced in Firefox 1.0 (IIRC). But then again I used the Retro Find extension up thru like Firefox 3.5 versions to get the older "floating" Find dialog box, that other programs like WordPad and older versions of Adobe Reader used.
