For some bizarre reason, while I'm typing something out in chat or something like that, all of a sudden my punctuation marks change to different symbols. If I shut down FF (V 3.6.12) and restart it, the problem goes away for a while and then all of a sudden comes back. (the text I have already typed doesn't change... It's like something gets switched in my keyboard and all text typed after that is hoaky) If I open a Word or Notepad and start typing once this has started the text is all fine... Go back to FF and it's still messed up. I'll try to show a map of what the symbols are transposing to when it happens again.

Ok, Here is the characters on my keyboard messing up (Top line) and the characters they are supposed to be (below) As you can see some seem to be ok... |!"/$%?&*()_+ '.É
