Cannot type @ (shift+2), becomes " when typing in firefox 8 (was not happening before I upgraded to firefox 8). Also # (shift+3) becomes /
Since I updated my Fireforx (7 to 8), I noticed that I cannot type some characters on Firefox. For example, [`~] button becomes # (| with shift) ! is ok @ (shift+2) becomes "
- (shift+3) becomes /
$ % is ok ^ (shift+6) becomes ? & * ( ) _ + (shift 7 8 9 0 - =) are ok

It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident.
- 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.
- http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/The-Language-bar-overview The Language bar (overview)
- Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar.
- You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application.
- The default keys to rotate the layout is a combination (Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift) that can easily be used in Firefox to activate a menu item.
- To avoid an unintentional switch, assign a specific key sequence (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to select keyboard layouts and remove the key combination to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift)
- Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Keyboards and Languages > Change keyboards > Advanced key settings > Change key sequence

After I restarted my computer, the problem is not reproducing.

Thanks, the above steps helped to fix the issue. I removed the Canada-French - I think somehow mistakenly it was switching to French keyboard setting on Firefox and Thunderbird.
