Firefox issues?

Strange, but this is the only board it happens on.

When I hit a symbol key on the keyboard (/, ' , ") it immediately opens "Quick Find" at the bottom of the browser and WILL NOT let me use that key until I load up tools/options and exit back out of it.

It's really really strange.

I use firefox 2.0.0.9

The first time I thought it was just a fluke but it has happened every time I hit "new thread" or any of the reply buttons. As long as I stay in the "history", i.e. never leave the website it works fine after the tools/options thing above. If I go to cnn or google or something and come back, bam, it's happening again.

The other forums and places I post/type/etc this doesn't happen. It's only on the board here.

Any helps appreciated on this. It's starting to get a lil annoying.
 
It's a built in Firefox hotkey function. but it's buggy, it is supposed to disable itself when you are in a text box but sometimes it doesn't...

It's a known bug

There is an extension you can install from the above link that will allow you to reassign to hotkey to a different key (like one of the F keys) as a workaround until the bug is fixed...
