When I came back to my work computer after being away for a week I found out when I try to clear the cache and refresh the page via ctrl + f5 (or just f5) I get the prompt "Type the Internet address of a document, and Internet Explorer will open it for you" with a drop down list in IE. When I try f5 in Chrome and FF it opens the "Open file" dialog box.

When I try to f12 for Dev tools in IE, Chrome & FF it opens up the print dialog box.

Why is this happening and what can I do to revert it back to the way it was?

You have a keyboard with an F-Lock key. The function lock is currently on. "Open file" and "Print" are the meanings of F5 and F12 when function lock is on.

So just turn it off.
