You have the french setting on you keyboard set for firefox. Check the bottom right corner for a "EN" and click on that and change back to "English" or go to control, clock language and region and in there region and language and then form there you should be able to figure it out.

In addition to the above:

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

See:

The default keys to rotate the layout is a combination (Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift) that can easily be used in Firefox to activate a menu item.
To avoid an unintentional switch, assign a specific key sequence (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to select keyboard layouts and remove the key combination to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift)
