Do you have this problem outside Firefox?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.

Did you try to reboot the computer?

Also check what keyboard layout is active.

It is possible that the keyboard layout has been switched by accident by using the key sequence to rotate the keyboard layout.

Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application and you may have changed the keyboard layout by accident via a keyboard shortcut.

Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe web sites. Is the problem still there?
