How to disable quickfind

I browse using firefox. There was an update a few days ago, I updated because I try to be responsible like that. Then I found that I couldn’t type an apostrophe. Every time that I tried to type this in comments something called quickfind would come up & wouldn’t go away. I have no idea what quickfind is, just that it was ruining my internet experience.

As tech savvy as I am, I decided that I could live without the apostrophe. Ask me about jewelry, books, Matt Damon & even directbuy commercials, & I’ll have an answer. Ask me about technology & I’ll just stare at you blankly & say “Did you break the internet?” I have to do tons of reading just to keep my blog running. Then I tried to type my url & found out that I also couldn’t use / anymore, which meant no more leaving links. I surmised that the internet was therefore broken. I finally found instructions to turn off quickfind. It already said quickfind was off, but once I turned it on then off again, it worked. Long live punctuation. Here is a line of apostrophes, just because I can type them now ”””””””””””’ Great now I just have to figure out how to make wordpress stop turning my apostrophes into astricks.  Oh apostrophes, how I do miss you.

    Thanks! You saved me! There were so many instances when Firefox activates this Quick Find feature so I couldn’t type anything into an online form!
