It is possible that you accidentally switched the keyboard layout. Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar. You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar.

See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306993 - HOW TO: Use the Language Bar in Windows XP http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/The-Language-bar-overview - The Language bar (overview) .... Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application. The default to switch the layout is a key combination (Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift) that you can easily use in Firefox to activate a menu item. Disable the key sequence to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctr+Shift) to avoid an unintentional switch and instead assign a specific key (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to switch to the keyboard layout.

For XP see: Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages > Text services and input languages > Details > Key Settings > Change Key Sequence For Vista see: Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Keyboards and Languages > Change keyboards > Advanced key settings > Change key sequence
