How can I disable character accents in Firefox, using Sierra
Im using Sierra and having ongoing problems with Firefox on my Mac regarding character accents. I have checked this issue on other browsers and Word, Notes etc and this issue is not presenting.
When I try to type various words vowels are omitted or foreign language accents are used (but I am not instigating this) e.g. "character" presents like "chacter" (in Firefox), but there is a ">" onto of the "a"; or, "this" presents like "thi", with the "i" having an accent on top of it. I have checked my preferences in Firefox and the settings are correct.
Any one else having this issue? Any suggestions?

It could be the work of one of your add-ons. Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control>(Mac=<Command>)<Shift> A)
In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions. Disable a few add-ons, then Restart Firefox.
Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All of them.
If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue. Re-enable the last group ONE AT A TIME (restarting FF) until the problem returns.
Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable all the others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is, detective.

What's your Firefox version?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).
Is the problem still there?
Many thanks FredMcD! All is working normally. Cheers ;-)
However, I have noticed that this does not permanently address the issue. Is there a permanent solution that you know of?

Thank you, I will try this out and let you know how I go.
I have found the culprit! I had accidently installed an add-on called AVIM that alters the English keyboard usage to Vietnamese! ;-)
Sorry for wasting your time on this fix! But many thanks for your help in any case, your efforts are much appreciated! ;-)
Glad to help. Safe Surfing. Time is never wasted when you are helping someone.
