firefox punctuation problems

daven1986 · 10 Jul 2007 at 16:16

hi guys,

when i type punctuation (forward slash and apostrophe) in the "post a new thread" dialogue or the "reply" dialogue firefox opens the "quick find" box, and will not let me type the punctuation.

it is fine to type them in the address bar, but not on any webpages.

any idea what is wrong?

thanks

2.0.0.4

daven1986 · 10 Jul 2007 at 17:57

extensions:
delicious
flashgot
mouse gestures
adblock
downthemall

typeheadfind is set to false
typeheadfind.autostart is set to true

this has happened on other profiles too.

i guess i need to make a new profile. how can i copy all my current extensions and settings over?
