I think it has to do with characters in the Unicode character set.

For example something with normal quote characters works fine: ""

But if you use the Unicode open and close quotes it has a problem: “ ”

People typing on a keyboard will get normal ASCII code quotes, but if you copy/paste something from the Internet it often has the Unicode ones.

Quoting this post in Firefox should exhibit the problem. And yeah it's something to do with the Javascript that the forum software uses to do the text editor and how Firefox runs it. Probably Firefox is more strict about running some Javascript code.
