Sometimes there is a problem with firefox. When i type an alphabet, i get the wrong alphabet. For eg; When i type c, it will show any other alphabet. This is only in case of firefox. But when i restart firefox, Problem will be solved for sometime.
When an alphabet is typed, i get an other alphabet. Not the one i typed.
This happened
A few times a week
== Not sure when it started.

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 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/The-Language-bar-overview - The Language bar (overview) .... 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. 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.
For XP see: Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages > Text services and input languages > Details > Key Settings > Change Key Sequence For Vista see: Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Keyboards and Languages > Change keyboards > Advanced key settings > Change key sequence
