Firefox quirk - Aug 21, 2007 01:49
So, occasionally I' m typing something in Firefox, and suddenly the apostrophe key causes the " find in this page" field to come up. And then I can' t freaking punctuate my contractions, and everybody knows Zoy is meticulous about punctuating his contractions!!!! Has anyone else noticed this, and if so how do you switch it on/off?!

Yup. The apostrophe makes the Quick Find come up. Annoying.

Screw that! If you are typing in a text field, the ' works just fine. See? I pressed it and no quick find. ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' '

Opera is probably one of my least favorite browsers ever.

Are there any reasons for that?

Is it the name? Is it because it used to be not free? Is it because it' s so small in size compared to most other browsers? Or is it simply because it got so many features?

The features let you browse faster, mouse gestures, speed dial etc.

Opera has always seem " quirky" to me. It rarely does what I want it to do. It definitely is a different beast than Firefox, etc. Also, it does seem slower.

Opera is faster. People that have used firefox for a long time usually don' t like Opera because the interface is different so it doesn' t do what they expect. Even though Opera' s is better.

Just downloaded Opera to try it out. Never bothered before.

After I took out all the useless bullshit and made it look like IE, Opera' s interface is just fine.

It' s nice to have a lot of options, but there' s nothing here revolutionary. I hate clutter and useless crap, so I' ll never use widgets. It IS significantly faster than firefox for me, but firefox is incredibly slow on my computer anyway. The speed difference between IE is insignificant.

Opera does have an annoying tendency to suddenly decide that parts of my favorite web pages are unacceptable and replace them with big error messages I can only partially read...that' s annoying. Maybe there' s a security setting somewhere that will stop that from happening.

Meh. I guess it will replace firefox as my back-up browser, but I still prefer IE.

EDIT: I just noticed the way it manages tabs. My new judgement is OPERA SUCKS ASS.

In relation to my bookmarks, it' s completely wrong. I can' t open a new tab from my favorites unless I open a big-ass space-hogging panel on the side of my browser. The drop down menu at the top will only change the current tab. That' s not right, that' s retarded and annoying.

And why the hell isn' t there a favorites or bookmark button on the main toolbar???
Opening another damn toolbar just for that is silly. " Personal bar" my ass.

Um so how about you don' t randomly press your apostrophe key? What the hell is wrong with you?

OMG everytime I press F1 a help page comes out in my browser - THATS WHY I DONT ***ING RANDOMLY PRESS F1.

Moron.

And the only reason you should be using opera is if you' re on something that doesn' t support firefox. Like browsing on a Nintendo Wii or PDA or whatever.

I don' t randomly press the apostrophe key, pissant! I press it whenever it' s needed in a word like " don' t" or " it' s." Do you even know what a f***ing apostrophe is?!

I expect silence from you from now on, nuisance!

Switch to Opera. You got no excuses now. There is no way to prevent Firefox from failing on you. Trust me!
