I'm using Linux Mint in a Lenovo S400 lap-top. I had to remap my slash key for X because the scancode of the key is actually Right-Ctrl (go figure!), and all my programs are recognizing this configuration. But in firefox my remapping takes no effect, and the slash key actually selects text if I'm in a form, or makes a thin bar appear at the bottom of the screen.

Any help is welcome!

I just updated to 23.0, but nothing changed related to the slash key.
