Normally I have the function keys f6,f7,f7 to control volume but for some reason now they simply don't work, I never used to need to hold down the fn key and when I do it still doesn't work. The keys themselves are still functional. It just seems as though they do different things now.
For example when I press down f6 which would usually mute the speakers it instead does the equivalent of having pressed tab.
But as I'm writing this I have just noticed all my function keys do different things. Another example is when I press f3 which normally increases the screen's brightness it does the equivalent of ctrl+f
I'm not sure what would have reassigned the functions of my function keys but I want to know how I can fix it please.
Edit: I just tried all the function keys and quite a lot of them had no noticeable affect:
f1 still opens help
f2 ?
f3 ctrl+f
f4 ?
f5 still reloads the page
f6 tab
f7 ?
f8 ?
f9 ?
f10 seems to highlight my tab's options bar
f11 still goes full screen
f12 opens page source code
