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.

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.

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

I love these kind of instructions, step by step. I used to have Firefox in English, but it somehow changed to Spanish. The instructions below from Rick work up to the 4th item, click on general. Then there is no language box or icon to click on. In this box I have Accesibilidad with 3 check boxes under it, then Navegacion with three boxes under it, then Por Drfecto with one check box. None have anything to do with language so far as I can tell. Under Options, Contenido, there is a language selection, and I have selected English, but the menus in Firefox do not change.

and download and install the Spanish again?

Kees

was made in 2007 so I would assume you are using a different version of Firefox than then.

Did you try Firefox > Options > Options, (again), > Content tab?

Mark

in the url bar, type in

about.config

find the line:

general.useragent.locale

and change to en-US for us language.

This helped so much, my GUI was in German and I couldn't understand any of it except OK... xD

It works for me. Thanks.

Thanx buddy.it help me too

the simple way?

Firefox > Options > Options, then Contents tab, then Languagess

if that fails, then I'm guessing uninstall and reinstall is the only option.

1. Remove firefox
2. set Location on Control Panel/Regional and Language options to United State (if you need all menu bar in English)
3. Open browser, go to www.mozilla.com, it will re-direct you to en-US page
4. Download firefox
5. Install firefox

This thread was started in 2007. Why do you want to know that now, 2 years later?

I suspect the original poster has either solved the problem or moved on.

One other thing. Firefox has been updated a number of times since then. I can't remember what version of Firefox I was using 2 years ago.
