In firefox, pressing enter twice does not break out of quotes. This did used to work, and still does on Chrome, although I'm not sure why it did given the code involved was last changed 4 and 10 years ago in ipsquote and ckeditor respectively.

It seems to be because the regex that removes the bogus <br/> does not account for the type="_moz" attribute that is added when running in firefox.

Here's a fix that seems to work for me:

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention! I can confirm this should be further reviewed and I have logged an internal bug report for our development team to investigate and address as necessary, in a future maintenance release.

I've been with Invision for 14 months and double-enter with FireFox has never worked for me. For this reason, I usually use Edge.

It did not occur to me that there might be a fix for this. Hopefully it will be fixed again and I will add it to my site.
