Firefox crashes when the apostrophe and tilde keys are pressed

Pressing either the apostrophe key or the tilde key is crashing Firefox. It's also happening in other internet browsers and programs (like Skype and Google Talk). I've tried a new keyboard and using different USB ports for it. The first time I tried a new USB port it temporarily fixed the problem, but after restarting my computer for updates the issue returned.
Firefox, the plugins, add-ons and drivers are all up to date from what I can tell.

do the crashes occur too when you run firefox in [[Safe Mode]]? (close all firefox windows & press the shift key while launching firefox again)
probably not related - there's a new version of the flash plugin available. you can install it from [http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/] (disable the checkbox for bundled software)

When the Photoshop and Illustrator files are placed in InDesign, they look blurry - whether viewed in InDesign, printed, or saved as a PDF. Can anyone give me some tips on how to fix this? Thanks!

    What model iPad do you have? If it's an iPad 1, the battery may have expired and needs replacement.

  • Why does firefox crash when the internet connection is lost?

    We have been having trouble with our internet connection recently and firefox crashes whenever the connection is lost, but this didn't used to happen, so I was wondering why this was happening.

    If there is any intermittent issues or connection is lost you will revert to the menu, regardless. The 'apps' are fed via server and there is nothing stored on the unit, it simply caches when you are online.
    As for the initial wait time. That could be due to ISP throttling, interference, using another DNS

  • How do I digitally sign with reader XI when the fill and sign functions are grayed out?

    I am using Adobe Reader XI. I am suppose to digitally sign a fillable .pdf document for online submission. However, the fill and sign functions are grayed out.
    What are my options to put a signature in the signature box of the document?
    Thank you in advance!

    Pat Willener,
    Thank you for replying.
    Here is an image capture of the properties.
    The document is part of a job application that is suppose to be digitally signed and submitted soon. I have thought about printing, signing, and redigitizing to submit, however, the cells are statically sized and do not expand to include all of the information when printed.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

  • The Pound and Hash keys are transposed on my (UK) iMac since upgrading to Mac OS X Lion.

    After upgrading my (UK) iMac to 10.7 I find that the £ and # keys are transposed i.e. shift-3 gives # and alt-3 gives £ which, I assume, is the standard US layout. I also upgraded my MacBook but this transposition didn't occur. What's going on here?!

  • Firefox crashes when loading Gmail, and random other pages, and freezes often.

    Firefox upgraded itself to 3.6.10 sometime last Friday, I believe, and every since I cannot get into gmail, and it freezes often. When I try to log into gmail it will crash immediately. Sometimes if I click "sign in" rather than hitting "enter" it will load, but will lock up or crash within minutes or seconds. It also will lock up if I have more than three or four tabs open, often when loading a video, and crashed while loading Nexis, which I use often for work to do research.
    I have disabled add-ons, disabled extensions, run in safe mode, uninstalled and reinstalled, rebooted, downgraded, re-upgraded. Nothing has worked.

    Problem does not seem to occur on a modern Win XP nebook with 1 gig RAM, but does on a relatively old laptop running Win 2000 with 98.5 MB ram.
    Error message states that a script is running from a Firefox directory and asks to stop it. Crash occurs anyway!

  • My macbook behaves as if the shift and alt keys are constantly pressed causing permanent special characters. Any ideas how I can stop this happening?

    Any help would be hugely appreciated, thanks

    But with my function the program doesn't know if the pressed key is printable or if it's shift, ctrl
    or something like thatProbably the easiest way is to check and see if e.getKeyChar() < a space character or if e.getKeyCode() >= 127. You can use e.getModifiers() to get the modifier, etc... -- take a look at the documentation for java.awt.event.KeyEvent class.

  • Send email notification when the baseline and actual values are different in project

    Hi
    I am working with MS Project 2013 and Project Server 2013.
    I need to the send email notification to the program manager (or to a user) whenever the project manager changes the task finish date for a task. Comparison should happen with the baseline finish and the difference needs to be updated to the Program Manager
    over mail.
    How to configure/customize email notification for changes in MPP.
    Please suggest.
    Regards,
    Sudhir

    If you are not having developer skills it will be complicated for you.
    You need to create event handler by code, as in the below link:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg615466%28v=office.14%29.aspx
    Then compare your values and finally send email by code.

  • When I type on my macbook air I get the symbols I would get if I were holding down the option and shift keys.

    I've looked at sticky keys and other stuff like this they don't seem to be the problem.  I guess it is possible that both the option and shift keys are stuck at the same time, but they don't seem to be stuck at all.
    I tried a restart and that didn't help and I hit the shift key 5 times....
    Help

    Have you been able to fix this problem? I am having the same issue with my laptop and it seems like each letter in my keyboard performs a shortcut or function rather than typing letters

    AVG is not the problem - it is the Adobe plugin that triggers the crash.
    Evidence :
    Flash works perfectly in Internet Explorer.
    Firefox works when Flash not present or disabled.
    Firefox crashes when Flash enabled and any site requiring the plug-in to be used is accessed.
    Firefox fails to give any warning message or explanation.
    Disabling any other plu-ins makes no difference.
    AVG has been uninstalled and an alternative anti-virus put into use.
    Problem started earlier in June when version 10.1r53 (10.1.53.64) of Adobe flash plug-in appeared. The problem did NOT exist until early June.
    Uninstalling flash and reinstalling does not cure the problem.
    Affects Firefox 3.6.3 and 3.6.4
    Operating System in use : Windows XP with service pack 3.

  • Firefox crashes when I pressing Browse button to upload files. The crash-ID is :bp-fcb99cd3-dbc3-4bab-ab00-49b632130409 and bp-b39ac817-7d8f-4f1b-a9e5-9f96e212

    when I want to attach a file in gmail or yahoo mail, firefox crashes with the crash-IDs of bp-fcb99cd3-dbc3-4bab-ab00-49b632130409 and bp-b39ac817-7d8f-4f1b-a9e5-9f96e212
    my windows is 7.

    Hello,
    Unfortunately, I am not able to pull up the crash reports but try safe mode:
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.
