try Ctrl-Shift-X, apparently it alters the text direction in firefox
More info
Can someone tell me why typing is coming out backwards? Its fine when using Word so its not how my keyboard is set up, it must be something to do with my browser. Using FF and I hadn’t knowingly changed any settings – but I’m guessing I accidentally did – anyone any suggestions how to change it back?

Unfortunately that just does….
Strangely it doesn’t even show the spaces between words, or letters, in perfect reverse order.
And its not just posting on here, its everything in FF – including trying to do a search on google…
Using version 3.0.4 – would it make any sense to update?

Its also fine when I try to type anything in Facebook - no problems there - its just the forum and the search boxes in my browser that seem to be all confused.
Found a bit more on the mozilla forums.
Essentially quit firefox, by actually killing the firefox.exe process which you can find on the task manager list of processes (press ctrl+alt+del to bring it up), or rebooting completely. Firefox 3.0.4 is the most up to date version but there was a theory about it being a java related problem, so you could try updating that by going to www.java.com
Try those and see if anything helps
Yes, I realised after posting that I had the most up to date version already!
I'm not quite sure what you mean by kill the Firefox.exe process but I went through my normal 'something funny seems to be happening to my computer' fix attempt - ie did a system restore to a point yesterday and that seems to have sorted it.
I may have done the wrong thing, or gone about it the wrong way...but its back to normal now.
Thanks for your help.
its probably something to with learning Tango,
