Sometimes FireFox stops accepting Quotes, until I enter it a second time
After a while and some "random" keyboard activity, I can not enter a quote, either Lower case or Upper case, (single or double), without hitting the key twice.
I expect that I have accidentally set FireFox to interpret the quote as a accent for foreign languages, but I want to know how to unset this mode rather than having to exit firefox and restart it.
Thanks...

You may have switched the keyboard layout to a keyboard that has dead keys to allow entering accented characters easily 'a -> á
See:
- http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306993 - HOW TO: Use the Language Bar in Windows XP
It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident.
- Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar.
- You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar.
- Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar.
- You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application.
- The default keys to rotate the layout is a combination (Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift) that can easily be used in Firefox to activate a menu item.
- To avoid an unintentional switch assign a specific key sequence (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to select keyboard layouts and remove the key combination to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift)

Note The changing of the key settings for switching the keyboard and the shifting of the keyboard can also be done thru the
Taskbar: Toolbars > Language bar
Right-Click of Keyboard-Icon > Settings
Text Services > Settings > Key Settings
"To Switch between languages" > (None)
and if you want:
"To Turn Off Caps Lock" > (*) Press the SHIFT Key
I think
