Why do I suddenly have to push "Windows + F11" to full screen when it's been "function + F11" since I got this laptop a year ago?

Got this laptop almost a year ago, and it took me a while to figure out I have to push "function" AND "F11" to toggle in and out of full screen; my last laptop, you just had to push "F11". However, sometime between today and yesterday, it suddenly stopped toggling. I finally figured out that if I push the "Windows" button (command button?) and "F11", it works. Why would it suddenly change the function of the buttons like that? It doesn't really matter as long as A button works, but it's annoying that it would just change like that out of nowhere. And "function" made more sense, since the key serves both as a "fast forward" key and an "F11" key, so "function" is logically what would switch between functions.

I think this is a keyboard setting, and not a Firefox setting, but I can't be sure. Does Firefox recognize other function keys like F3 for search and F6 for focusing the address bar or do those also require the function and/or Windows key now?

Do you have multiple keyboard layouts installed?

It is possible that the keyboard layout has been switched by accident by using the key sequence to rotate the keyboard layout.

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