Hello,

Ill get straight to the point, I literally cant write an @in Firefox, im currently writing this prom another program, that i had uninstalled and know reinstalled.

I live in Germany and my keyboard layout is installed as such, my keyboard itself is american basically the keyboards are not all lined up properly, the letters are correct but symbols arent, for me thats not a problem i know where everything is and know how to help myself if not.

on a German Keyboard you usually make an @ with command + Q. According to akko gear ( the keyboard company) its command +F2##

what actually works is Command + Windows + Q

This works every where but in firefox.

here is all ive done to fix it myself: -deleted all browser data + cache -seit it back to factory mode(dunno if this is the right translation) - uninstalled and reinstalled it

nothing works..

please advice me on how to fix this

thank you

Does it work better if you switch to the en-US layout since you have this keyboard and all keys would give the code as labeled on each key ?

it does work when i change the language to english (shift+2) but then everything else is wrong for me but the thing is that it works in chrome and microsoft edge even with german setting just not in firefox :(
