Hello, Firefox is automatically inserting little questions marks where there should be quotation marks or an apostrophe. Is there a remedy? Thanks. Wayne

It seems to happen with material that I've put on my own web site using "cut and paste" text - not with text that I've manually typed.

Maybe they are not the same quotation marks and apostrophe:

Can you post a link to that website?

Make sure that you use regular quotes (") and apostrophes (') and not special Unicode versions as can be found in the above post Wikipedia articles. Otherwise Firefox will add normal quotes and show the special quotes as question mark or little boxes with hex code depending on the encoding used on the page.
