Last week I opened the Special Characters menu to quickly copy/paste characters both into Firefox and into InDesign. Ever since then, the menu keeps showing up every single time I return from sleep/idle (I have a password-protected screen saver enabled). I've tried closing InDesign and restarting Firefox, and going through Firefox Preferences, but can't find a way to disable this.

Actually, never mind: I didn't realize the Special Characters menu is part of OSX and not just Firefox (oops...), and restarting seems to have fixed the issue. Thanks, though!
