Firefox does not recognize my keyboard

My key board was walked all over by my little puppy and now I cannot type anything into Firefox. The keyboard works with all other programs, however. I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice, reset Firefox, and disabled add-ons, all kinds of things that the internet suggested. Please help! I love Firefox and don't want to have to switch browsers.

Some have reported that pressing F9+Windows one or more times has worked to fix issues with the keyboard not working.

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