Quotes being trashed. New for me, and quite the nuisance. ¿ [View all]

No idea what's going on unless it has to do with the computer inserting "smart quotes"

I read the earlier post on this.

I restart the computer daily,(1) and just restarted Firefox.

(1) If I just turn off the monitor, the attached drives unmount .... So just shut down at night.

Hoping that some detective with fewer backlogged chores and bills to pay can figure this out.

I normally tell the computer not to substitute smart quotes (nor any other doo-dads)
