Open Mozilla Firefox

click on the 6th item across

click on the bottom one

click on the last one

click on the first tab

click on the button by itself

click on the arrow in the little window and choose the language you want to use.

click the first button on the bottom and close Mozilla Firefox. Wait 10 seconds and the open Mozilla Firefox and it should be ok.


***Please note, some languages are not in the same format as the English language. Some go from right to left instead of left to right. The placement of the words and buttons may be opposite from what is stated.



If this does NOT work then

go to control panel and remove Mozilla Firefox.

Right click on start

left click explore

click on the + sign in front of Program files

look for the Mozilla Firefox folder

right click on the folder and delete it.

Restart your computer.

Log in to an unrestricted account.

go to

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/

Download and install Mozilla Firefox from the beginning. I hope you wanted the English version.

Everything should be where you can then understand it.

You are posting to a 2 year old thread.

I assume you noticed that with your, "come on!" comment.

Since then, Firefox has been updated a number of times. I am using version 3.0.7. Which version are you using?

In version 3.0.7 the language option has moved. With Firefox open, goto Tools > Options, and click the "Content" tab.

There you will find a section called Languages, and a button for "Choose". Click that.

In the new window, where it says, "Select a language to add...", click the down arrow. Scroll down to the language you want to add. Click Add.

Move the language you have just added to the top of the 'order of preference' list in that window, or wherever you want it placed.

Perhaps you could have found this yourself with a little delving and looking around.

Mark is right!

Firefox has been updated many times since then.

Click tools, options,content(3rd tab), choose(bottom button in box)

Then select the language in the white box or use the drop down menu to choose a new language, not listed.

No, that's for changing the web pages language.

by anagath - 3/15/08 5:06 AM In reply to: Open Mozilla Firefox by PudgyOne

These steps you mentionned don't change the language of Firefox menus and titles. They change the display language of the web pages.

Doesn't seem right.

If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.

Firefox 3 Language setting - sure it's not Google?

by joq8 - 12/11/08 3:16 AM In reply to: How To change language in firefox by rakshithraor

I came across this thread while trying to correct my own firefox 3 langauge problems. I got stuck with Arabic, based on location, despite dowloading en-gb. Changing the settings within firefox made no difference and the firefox menu bar WAS in English. I got the answer on another site and thought I'd post it here - my settings problem was in Google, the default display page, not Firefox. To correct it, open firefox and when the google page comes up, click on the 'google' shortcut - the only thing I had in English - change your settings, save your preferences, and voila, it displays correctly. Hope this helps someone else.
