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.

I don't think so. I have only one input method added and all my other characters displays normally (including the special norwegian ones).

I really am at a loss here. I realise this is not the place for windows support, but I was sure the problem must be in Firefox. If this is not something that could happen in Firefox I will persue other venues :)

TY for the quick reply
