For some reason, my keyboard input language for firefox is German, meaning my keys are in different positions, eg, i get 'y' when i press the z key. This doesn't happen for any other programs, eg, microsoft word, just firefox. HELP!
The entire keyboard is in German format. I can't find the @ symbol (I had to copy that from Word), I can't find other symbols, and I keep typing z instead of y!

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
- 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 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.
XP: Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages > Text services and input languages > Details > Key Settings > Change Key Sequence
I was having the same problem here. I solved it by pressing ctrl+shift keys. It cycles keyboard layouts. It's just Control+Shift. No other letter added. Try it and let us know. Cheers from Brazil.
