Firefox 3 Quick Find Apostrophe Bug

For some reason today, I ran across this little bug in Firefox 3 where the apostrophe key (‘) would only bring up the Quick Find box. This was a real problem when it came to entering text in a WordPress or Gmail window. None of the Firefox configuration options in about:config would let me disable it. The only method I found that worked was to install an add-on which disabled the quick find hotkeys. Here’s a link which worked for me.
