I originally downloaded Firefox in French when living in France. How can I change the whole site into English?

I would like my Firefox to run completely in English. However, when I originally downloaded Firefox, I was living in France and it automatically downloaded a French version. Do I need to start over again in order to have a 100% English language version of Firefox?

If you have the Firefox user interface (menu bar) in the wrong language or want to change the current language then you can get Firefox in the language of your choice here:
* http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
Uninstall the current Firefox version, but make sure that you do not remove your personal data.
Install the new Firefox version of the wanted language.
See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup and [[Backing up your information]]
You may need to (re)set the pref "general.useragent.locale" to the preferred language (e.g. "en-US" or "en-GB") on the about:config page.<br />
You can open the about:config page via the location bar, like you open a web site.<br />
Use the Filter bar at the top of that page to quickly locate the pref.

  • I downloaded firefox 5 but lost my tool bars, how can i get the old version back?

    I downloaded firefox 5 but lost my tool bars, how can i get the old version back? It said my tool bars are not compatible. I want them back.

    That is the new appearance Firefox 4 and now Firefox 5, you can easily put things back because Firefox is customizable.
    You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

    Do you mean you have a Macbook Pro (laptop) versus a Mac Pro (desktop)?
    You can back up the MBP, restart using Command+R to boot into the Mavericks Recovery HD, erase the Mactintosh HD and Reinstall OS X. Then you can go through setup and configure it with your information and Apple ID. Mavericks should not prompt you for an Apple ID when it goes through the install since that OS is free.
    One thing you might want to consider is asking the previous owner to unregister the MBP from his Apple ID if he previously registered it. Then you can register it under your Apple ID.
    The previous owner should have wiped it clean and reinstalled the OS that came pre-installed before selling it.

  • I download, but always saves files of 1KB.  How can I save the whole file.

    I registered the unlock of QT Pro. I try to download, it tries to save audio file as something.mov, but the file is 1KB in size. It actually does not save the whole thing.
    How can save the whole file from a URL?
    Thanks,
    Juan

    The site is probably using pointer movies which may indicate that the movies are streaming and so cannot be saved. I'd suggest checking with site's support staff and ask if the movies are downloadable or are streaming only.

  • When I opt to "download this as a file" from my email account, Firefox defaults to notepad to open the file. How can I change the default to MS Word?

    Question
    When I opt to "download this as a file" from my email account, Firefox defaults to notepad to open the file. How can I change the default to MS Word?

    Is FF downloading the file as a .txt file? If so, go to "Folder Options" in the windows control panel. Click on the "File Types" tab. Scroll down until you reach the TXT file extension. Look to see what that extension opens with (lower part of panel). It probably shows notepad. Click on the <Change> button. Scroll down until you find "Microsoft Word." Select it and click the <OK> button. That should show the TXT extension is now associated with Microsoft Word. Click the <Close> button at the bottom of the panel.
    If FF is downloading the file as any other type, use the same process as above except look for the corresponding extension instead. If the extension is not listed click on the <New> button and create an association using the extension in the file name and then associate it with MS Word.

  • I inadvertenly clicked on HD when purchasing a season's pass for a tv show, In the midst of the download of the first episode I discovered my mistige.  How can I change the purchase to SD before it downloads any more episodes?

    I inadvertenly clicked on HD when purchasing a season's pass for a tv show, In the midst of the download of the first episode I discovered my mistige.  How can I change the purchase to SD before it downloads any more episodes?

    Apologies if this is an off-target question, but had you bought the HD season originally or just the SD version?
    The reason I ask is that I have had similiar difficulties with the autodown load and when I check for available downloads on season passes, it says all downloaded.
    Then, when I go to the store and search for the season, it first brings up the HD season indicating I would need to make a new purchase, but if I select on SD, there are my purchases and I can freely (and manually) download the latest episode without new cost.
    Needless to say, neither of us should have to go looking. Here is the iTunes technical support email: <[email protected]>. I encourage you to email them. I have already done so but I think it helps for anyone with this problem to also do so, so that they will realize it is a wider spread issue and not a human error by a single user.

  • When I receive and answer e-mail, the correspondence is usually "nested" with the original message, and the number of replies, etc. are indicated with a number next to the original message.  How can I change the mail settings so that every reply is listed

    When I receive and answer e-mail, the correspondence is usually "nested" "behind"  the original message, and the number of replies, etc. are indicated with a number next to the original message in the inbox.  How can I change the mail settings so that every reply is listed individually in the inbox instead of having them "stacked" behind the original message.  I'm afraid I might accidentially overlook messages the way they are handled now.

    Somebody here will correct me if I'm wrong, but what you have to do is go into Settings, Mail/Contacts/Calendars and under Mail, turn off "Organize by Thread".  I think that will make each message show individually.

    You should restore the the iPod to totally erase the iPod and add your own media to the iPod.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and restore to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes.

  • How can I change the ENTIRE look of Firefox?

    How can I change the ENTIRE look of Firefox? I.e. I want to change all icons that appear in the browser - the loading "gif" the firefox...well... fox of fire in the "about" page, etc. Also what text shows up, for example on the "about:robots" page, and when hovering over a button, etc.
    I could do something like that with an earlier version of Firefox, and I found the quotes from the "about:robots" page in the "omni.ja" archive, extracted, changed them and replaced in the original archive, along with other icons, however they do not seem to be implemented. :/
    I do not mean changing the desktop or .exe icons, already did that.

  • When my husband and I first bought our iPhones, I was the only one with an Apple ID (since he never used iTunes). He used my apple id to get apps. Now he has his own ID, but my account keeps popping up on his phone. How can we change the ID on his phone?

    When my husband and I first bought our iPhones, I was the only one with an Apple ID (since he never used iTunes). He used my apple id to get apps. Now he has his own ID, but my apple ID email address keeps popping up on his phone when he tries to download an app. We do not want to have all of the same apps on our phones. How can we change the ID on his phone? I already tried going to Settings>iTunes &App Store> and changing the Apple ID to his account email and that did not solve the problem. To make things worse, I recently changed my Apple ID email address (without getting a new ID) and I do not remember my old password (and this is the address that is popping up on his phone). He does not have any music on his phone and all of the Apps that he has are free.  Any help you could offer would be great (-:

    All apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that bought them. To stop your id from popping up, you need to delete the apps on his phone, and then repurchase them under his account.

    Apple does not repair devices beyond replacing the screen on some models or a battery replacement.  They replace the ENTIRE device.
    For the Out of Warranty replacement cost, you could have gotten a fully functional replacement device.  Instead you chose to spend less to get only the screen replaced and continue to live with additional issues.
    Apple will not touch the device now.  They will know that it was opened elsewhere and that the replacement screen is not original.
