Keyboard returns incorrect symbols
Occasionall I am unable to enter the following symbols in text boxes in Firefox "@#!~?+" . The problem seems to appear randomly and only in Firefox. I can type the symbols in other browsers and in other programs. I have v 3.6, Windows 7 and the keyboard language is correctly set. It happens once or twice a month.

See:

It is possible that you are switching 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.
- 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 rotate 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.
