Firefox loads in Japanese however my options clearly state english

On opening, the tool bar at the top is in english, however the language for everything below 'Most visited' is in Japanese.
I have gone tp the options menu under tools and ensured on ly english language is selected but it still only shows Japanese

Can you access http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html ? Or else this direct link might work: http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.6.13&os=win&lang=en-GB
But normally you should be able to add another language and set this as default in Firefox by going to Preferences > Content > Languages/Choose.
I think Mozilla pushed personalisation and geo-location a bit too far ...

  • I live in Japan and have a Japanese laptop with English language packs but firefox loads in Japanese

    I live in Japan, have bought a Japanese laptop and loaded up Windows Ultimate to have displays in English. I want to install Firefox but when doing this it installs the Japanese version. How do I get Firefox in English please?

    The Firefox you posted here with is the '''en-US''' version of Firefox.

    Reboot your iPad and then see if you can set the security questions.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Recently firefox loads LinkedIn home page as text only. Was no problem before I installed latest version and the page loads fine in Explorer and Safari.

    See image.

    Thank you for the screenshot. Something is preventing the style from loading.
    There is an option in page permissions I would check first:
    # Right click on the page and select "Page Info"
    # Under Media make sure "Block Images from..." is not checked
    Then check out: [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]]
    Mainly I would focus on the cache, as the cached page might be corrupt. To clear any corrupt pages it is possible to forget the site from the about:permissions page -> this is not recoverable.
    You can open the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).
    Check on the Network tab if any content is blocked and has a file size 0 (zero).

    I have a MacBook Air 2011, running Lion 10.7.2, and Safari won't load any pages. Firefox loads everything just fine. What's going on?

    d Pacifist to reinstall both the Safari
    application and the WebKit framework
    was that before the 10.4.6 combo was applied?
    Nope, I tried the Pacifist route after applying the combo update.
    It does sound as if webkit is busted at the moment.
    What version of osx is on your install disks?
    Not sure, I'll have to check them.
    I'd like to avoid a archive & install, but I'm beginning to think it's my only remaining option.

  • How do i backup the list of load images automatically exceptions under Options- Content. I want to transfer to another comp without re-adding one at a time

    How do i backup the list of load images automatically exceptions under Options->Content. I want to transfer to another comp without re-adding one at a time. EVen if there is no way to backup, what is the system file for Firefox that stores these, so i can transfer this file or open it in an XML or similar editor to copy them out?

    The permissions.sqlite file stores 'allow' and 'block' exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and extensions (software) installation.

  • In the Firefox Downloads dialog box, does the option "Remove from List" mean that the selected download will be deleted? (I want to delete it.)

    I am using Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, Service Pack 3, on a Dell_GX620. I went to the Addictedtoradio.com website that I had used on my Samsung phone yesterday for the first time. I was able to play 1980's music on the phone without any special adaptations to the phone. I tried to do the same on my home computer. I went to the website but when I tried to access the music, it directed me to download a file, Xvidinstall.exe, and I did that. It is described as 382 kb - totalvidplayer.com. I am using AVG Anti-virus free edition that is supposed to protect my computer when web browsing. However, once I had downloaded the file, I got the standard Windows message that it is an executable file that might contain viruses that could harm my computer. At this point I began to wish that I had not downloaded it, I don't want to take the risk. I'll get my music another way. I have not opened the download but I assume it is now on my computer and I want to get rid of it, without opening it. When I right-click on this file (in the Firefox downloads list), one of the options is "Remove from list". There is no "Delete" option. If I remove it from the list, will it be deleted? Or will it still be present on my computer but just not shown in the list? I would like to remove it from my computer because it might contain viruses. How can I be certain to remove it safely?

    The remove from list just removed it from Firefox's download list, the file will still be on your computer. You'll have to find wherever you download the file to on your PC (right click it in Firefox's download manager and click "Open Containing folder") and delete it there to remove it from your computer.

  • Firefox loads in the center of my screen and I have to use Ctrl+ to make it bigger so I can read it.

    When Firefox loads, or when it changes to a different screen, it is always centered on my monitor with lots of white space on both sides of the content. To make it larger so I can read thescreen, I have to hold the Ctrl key and tap the Plus key (+) several times until the screen is full.
    Under Options/Content/Advanced, I have checked the "Allow pages to choose their own fonts..." If I don't check this, then the fonts on the pages overlap each other and I can't read anything.

    You can use one of these extensions to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages:
    *Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
    *NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
    It is best to leave the Font settings in "Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced" at the default to avoid problems.

  • After firefox loads, the first web pulled in takes 4-5 minutes, then all the rest of the webs work normally. It doesn't matter what web i pull in first. I have norton360.

    After Firefox loads the home page (google), the first web site I click in my bookmarks takes 4-6 minutes to come in. Clicking on screen makes it go half-tone until it loads. From then on, all other bookmarks come in fast. It doesn't matter what bookmark I load first, it always takes major minutes. I am using Norton 360 and have even disabled the security and web checking and it made no difference.

    Okay, here's what I found out. Followed the above instructions...no joy. I think this maybe needs to be posted in a general OS forum, as I'm thinking this is more about that vs just being about iPhoto/iTunes. Here's what I tried and learned.
    A new account allowed iPhoto to open up immediately. However, iTunes seemed a touch slow...not sure if that is just due to it being a new account. So, I deleted that account and moved on to the preferences instructions above.
    I removed all preferences and placed them in a "preferences A" folder on the desktop. Launched iPhoto and got the exact same results. Super slow...took forever to open. Took forever to close. Same with iTunes.
    So I placed all of the removed preferences back into the folder and decided to start launching and closing apps to see what's affected, what's not. Here are the findings.
    iPhoto - The worst of all. Takes 4 minutes to open.
    Mail - Opens fine, closes very slowly...apprx 1 minute
    Calculator - This now opens incredibly slowly. Also noticed that the blue light below a launching app in the dock that seems to radiate was not radiating immediately....just sort of sat there. About a minutes passes, then it radiates for a second and calculator opens. Quitting is instant
    Garageband - Launching is slooooow, quitting is instant.
    Lightroom 3 - quitting is slow....quit results in upper-left menu items flashing once, then beach ball for about 30 seconds.
    These apps check out perfectly fine with no problems launching or quitting: iCal, Safari, Firefox, Aperture, Photoshop (CS3), Illustrator (CS3), InDesign (CS3), Acrobat, Suitcase, Image Capture, Disk Utility, Text Edit, Photo booth, Final Cut Pro.
    So I'm at a loss. This may be more of an OS issue, but figured I'd post here to follow up on the suggestions given. I think I'll pose a question in the OS forums. I'm thinking this might mean boxing up the iMac and making a trip to the genius bar. It's incredibly frustrating.

  • Errors "Load tModels into the registry" option & publishing proxy services

    Hi,
    I'm making a study with BEA Aqualogic Service Bus and BEA Aqualogic Service Registry.
    Reading official documentation (Console Help), I added with the BEA ALSB Console two registries. But during the configuration it doesn't allow me to set the *"Load tModels into the registry"* option, in fact when I click "Save" I get this error:
    *"Permission to generate key uddi:bea.com:servicebus:servicetype denied".*
    However I added two registries without setting this option.
    Now, when I want to publish a proxy service (in any registry), following the official procedure, I get this error:
    *"The publish completed with error. One or more services can't be published correctly, please see the detailed error messages in the summary table".*
    *"CannotCreate The key uddi:bea.com:servicebus:properties does not represent a valid taxonomy!"*
    I don't think it's all right! :)
    Someone can help me?

    Thank you for your help (even though you didn't know you were helping). I am also studying ALSB and ALSR, and I had the same problem when I tried to publish a proxy service ("... does not represent a valid taxonomy"). Based on your experience, I updated my registry in ALSB and checked "Load tModels". This was successful. I then published my proxy service and this too was successful.
    So the help you've given me was to suggest that publishing proxy services cannot be done unless the BEA tModels are first loaded into the registry.
    This means that your real problem is that you can't load the tModels. To do this, I suggest that the user ID you give when you're setting up the registry in ALSB must be an administrative user. When you installed the ALSR, an administrative account was created. Try giving this account information to the ALSB.
    If you don't want to give the administrative ID and password, you must set up an account in ALSR that has the ability to create tModels. In the ALSR's console page (probably at http://localhost:7001/registry/uddi/web), look at the administrative account's permissions (you'll find it on the "Manage" tab, under "Permissions"--you won't see the "Manage" tab unless you log in as an administrator). In my system, the administrator account has four permissions; I would guess that the one you need is "org.systinet.uddi.security.permission.ConfigurationManagerPermission".

  • Upgraded to 3.6. Now when Firefox loads, I'm unable to bring up any websites? All I get is a blank page. Firefox used to work just great - until I upgraded to 3.6.

    Firefax used to work great. Just upgraded to 3.6. Now firefox loads, but I'm unable to access anything on the web.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

    If you aren't able to connect in Firefox, but can connect with other programs, the most common cause is a firewall. See [[Firewalls]] for instructions on configuring firewalls.
    Other possibilities for broken connections include:
    * Proxy settings can be misconfigured. Check these the [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options+window+-+Advanced+panel Advanced panel of the Options window].
    * You are in offline mode. Make sure "Work offline" in the File menu is ''unchecked''.
