Yes, that’s the problem here.

That’s one solution.

That’s not advisable. It does not work in other browsers, and it’s not 
described in any standard or reference. It seems to be a nonstandard 
feature in Firefox that grave accent (“backtick”, `) characters are 
recognized as string literal delimiters. This might be understandable as 
an attempt to deal with an assumed typing error (people often confuse 
small characters like this with each other). But I cannot imagine any 
context where it might be justifiable to utilize the feature.
