Since my most recent FF update a few days ago, my GB pound has disappeared again. Add to this the loss of my 'at' symbol ( which I can get another way) and it's all a bit annoying. I've been into W10 settings and checked I am in UK english mode for the keyboard, is there anywhere else I should be checking please?

Separate Security Issue, please update your Flash 25.0 r0 by removing it with this tool : https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html If use it Reinstall with Flash Player Version: 30.0.0.134 Current Version https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Step 1: Select Operating System Step 2: Select A Version (Firefox, . . . .) Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only>

Sounds that you switched the keyboard layout from en-GB to another layout (en-US?).

Do you have multiple keyboard layouts installed?

Please Copy/Paste about:preferences to the Address Bar and Enter. Then down to Languages --> Choose. Which one is Highlighted if there are more than English -GB ? Can remove English-en as is USA. But please see Keyboard URL Below 1st before making any changes.

It is possible you accidentally changed the keyboard layout by using a key sequence to rotate the keyboard layout.

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

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

Language settings and Browser settings are two different animals. If you have FF-EN and Windows UK that will not match up.

Just a question about the Flash Security 25.0 ro issue, as I don't have that version should I ignore the update advice? I have Flash Player 25 NPAPI
