N key not working for normal to

lowell_yoas

What or where do I go to get the shortcut of N for normal to - to start working?

There is no setting. It should just work.

You need to click on a face/plane so the system knows with respect to what are you viewing normal to. In a sketch, you just need to press N because you are already working on a plane.

According to my experience, since the V1.114 update you just have to hover your mouse over a planar face and press N.

Shortcut n does not work in Firefox browser I cant find any solution 

A search box opens in the lower left corner  when any key is hit it forcing me to use the Chrome browser

It works when Firefox is fresh installed , but after a while the shit reappears

I think I know why, IIRC it happens because at some point you enabled a feature in Firefox that makes Firefox start a search as soon as you press a key (and it's not in a input focus).

See section "Find automatically while typing on a page" on this page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-contents-current-page-text-or-links .

Be sure to uncheck this, I think it will work back.

In any case, I'm using Firefox both in Windows and Linux (currently Windows, Firefox version 94.0.2 (64-bit)) and I can confirm N works very well to orient normal to face / place.
