Firefox not recognizing number keys at top of keyboard.

Within the last two weeks, the number keys above the main keyboard -- not the separate numeric keypad -- stopped being recognized in Firefox. They work in all other Office programs, etc. So the problem is using the "at" symbol and any of the other characters and numbers on the main part of the keyboard. Tried uninstalling keyboard, reinstalling, doing Windows updates, etc. I also switched from a PS2 keyboard to a USB keyboard. No solution. Thoughts or ideas?

Did you switch the keyboard layout by accident?
