Steps to reproduce:
Run https://ms0.github.io/music.html
Hold down single quote key [plays F5]
Actual results:
Find bar opens at bottom of screen and single quotes begin to appear there.
This seems similar to a very old bug (406495) which has been closed, but doesn't seem to have been resolved.
Expected results:
F5 should continue to play until single quote key is released. Find bar should not be invoked.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Audio/Video: Playback' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

The bot is probably wrong. I see this problem on other sites, e.g. wikipedia, although it seems to be a firefox "feature" that opens the find bar when you type a single quote. Other browsers don't do that.

Do you have "Search for text when you start typing" enabled in the preferences?
I can't reproduce using Finnish keyboard layout (" is shift+2)

"Search for text when you start typing" is not enabled in the preferences.
I'm not surprised that alternative keyboard layouts produce different results, as this particular html assumes a standard US keyboard layout, as it is attempting to somewhat emulate a music (e.g., piano) keyboard and needs to know the physical position of the keys.

Yes, a single quote summons the links-only quickfind bar. Re-engineering this feature to detect if page Javascript is doing anything with the key is likely more work than this is worth, but we could add a pref to control the behaviour.
