Copy and paste above on Google Chrome URL. Paste the original and then copy and paste it back on FR. I’ve tried it and it works.

Isn’t there a standard url for that website?

Here's another apparent solution that some freeper posted a month or so ago. I have not personally tried it myself. Instead I manually replace the troublesome apostrophes and quotation marks from anything copied & pasted.

Replace smart quotes with regular straight quotes:

When I post HTML to a blog, I find that smart quotes don't show up correctly, so this tool replaces smart quotes (and a few other entities) with regular quotes (or the regular entity). To use, paste the text containing the smart quotes in the top box, then hit convert and the converted text will appear in the lower box.
