Re: No apostrophes!
I used to get that alot, I just found closing and re-opening Firefox fixed the problem.
Have you got the latest version of Firefox? I don't seem to have had that problem for a while and maybe it was something they fixed in a later version?
Just had a quick lookie and found this for you fee: http://www.liamdelahunty.com/tips/firef ... he_bug.php

Re: No apostrophes!
That's a secret war of the anti-apostrophe lobby against all of us who still use the things..

Other folk's aren't so fussy - they just spread apostrophe's around indiscriminately...the.fee.fairy wrote: It's amazing how you can't think of a sentence involving apostrophes when you need one...

I've definitely had this odd behaviour with apostrophes (I think that's right!) but not in recent times and I can't remember how I got rid of it. Maybe I'm using a more recent version of Firefox (or Ubuntu) now.
