Thanks for the reply Phil and Russell. I didn't change configuration, nor installed any new packages. The only thing I did was "sudo pacman -Syu". After that the issue shows up. So now I'm not able to use StumpWM as it won't be useful if you can't type anything in any web browser.

I use firefox daily in Stump.
Did you import a configuration that tried to have keyboard remapping
for firefox or other browsers? I've seen sample configurations which
included key re-binding for firefox.
Is this a focus issue? If you split the screen and run xev, can you
select the firefox window and type?
