Did the keyboard only change in Firefox ?
Did you hit the windows OS shortcut to switch the keyboard language by a mistake ?
The support for different keyboard layouts is not in Firefox, it's in the OS

In Skype and the Facebook Messenger the layout was still in german keyboard layout.

It's possible that windows changes this only for the current application.
Try this if it happens again:

Please reopen this bug if this happens again and you can not switch it back to german with the OS shortcut.
