My Firefox home page is in French, because I'm in France, but I want an English home page

I am very new to Firefox. When I open my Firefox browser the home page and all other communication is in French. This is probably because I am residing in France at the moment. But, I am an English speaker - how do I get my Firefox to default to English?

Firefox determines your current locale and presents pages in the local language.
#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. See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/General.useragent.locale
#*You can open the about:config page via the location bar, like you open a web site.
#*Use the Filter bar at the top of that page to quickly locate the pref.
#*If you travel frequently to other language locales, you may want to try this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1333/
#If you have the Firefox user interface (menu bar) in the wrong language then you can get the language version of your choice here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
#*Reinstalling Firefox won't affect the data in your profile folder (e.g. bookmarks and cookies and passwords), but make sure that you do not choose to delete files in the profile folder in the uninstall window.
#If the Google or Yahoo page is in the wrong language then see:

Where is now Cooliris icon in Firefox 3.6.18? Last appeared in the top right but now I get the home icon. Please let me clarify it. Regards.

Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

How do I transfer my bookmarks from one computer to another? I have Firefox Home on my phone and I can get them there, but I want to have the same bookmarks on my home computer as I do on my work computer.

How do I transfer my bookmarks from one computer to another? I have Firefox Home on my phone and I can get them there, but I want to have the same bookmarks on my home computer as I do on my work computer. If I have a user name then where do I sign into Firefox, it should be that easy but I can't seem to figure it out.

Hey susanneyes,
Sounds like you want to set up Firefox Sync. This will allow you to keep all of your instances of Firefox synchronized. Just follow the steps in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync?s=sync&r=0&as=s this article] and you'll be set.
Hopefully this helps!

I converted a 6 page document to a PDF file but I want to only send page 1. How can I do that?

I downloaded a document from a website into a PDF file. It was a 6 page document, but I want to only send page 1 of the document. I don't know how or if it can be done.

Larry,
    There is more ways than one to do that. I've been extracting a lot of pages lately so that is why I gave you that method. Also, you need to have Acrobat pro to extract pages this way.
    But here is another method which should do the same thing hopefully.
    Follow the same instructions as the last post I gave you. Get the navigation index up that shows all the 6 pages. Right click on the page that you want to extract. Then click Print. You will then get a Print Box with options. At the top there should be a box that says printer. Use the down arrow on the right side of that box to scroll down to the option that says PDF. Then click the print button that will probably be at the bottom right. This will not print the page. It will extract the document and put it on the screen. Then do file save as and name the document something and put in in a place you will find it and then send it by email.

I started setting up a web page with iWeb. Auto play box is checked, but music will not play when page is opened.

I started setting up a web page with IWeb.
Several proplems so far:
1) Auto Play box checked for music, but music does not start when page is opened.
2) Can't get Quicktime "start/stop" slide to start and finish a section within a long piece of music (classical for example). How does one work the slide bar to do this?

Yes the audio file plays on the iWeb page when I click the play button. I even made sure it played both without the “little boxes” that surround the icon (don’t know the technical name for those), and when I click the music icon without the little boxes.
I did note that the iTunes window that appears when I open the Inspector is not highlighted until I click the music icon and those little boxes appear. Then the Start/Stop, Auto Play, Loop, and Show Movie Controller are highlighted — and work properly.
One other thing. I see that the iWeb icon I am working from says “Domain copy.sites2.” Does that have a bearing on anything?

When opening firefox i closed it correctly the night before but it re-opens the last page i was on almost like a restore session but not just reopens the last page i was on and i have goto home page selected any ideas ??

Firefox has a memory leak and I need to update it, but I want to keep 3.5 because I don't like how the newest version of Firefox is set up.

My computer is running low on RAM, and when I look at what processes are using the most memory, firefox is the number one using between 28,000 to 93,000k, so I'm guessing that it has a memory leak.
And because of that memory leak I have to update firefox, however I really dislike the newest version of firefox and I'd prefer to stick with the version I have, which is 3.5.

Often the memory problems are not just from Firefox in isolation, but partly relating to all the extensions available for it and then the videos and animations it runs on media rich sites.
The first thing to do is to upgrade to firefox 3.6 which is at least a supported version (Maybe not for much longer)
* see [[updating firefox]]
Next version after 3.6 is 4, you should avoid that, it did have some memory problems, that were worse than 3,6 and firefox 4 is no longer secure or supported.
The techies at Firefox have been working on memory problems recently and have made many improvements, but some of these improvements are only seen in the trial versions of Firefox.
I would in fact suggest you upgrade to Firefox 5 the current release version (soon to be replaced with Firefox 6)
I am able to run Firefox v3.6 to v8 on legacy XPs with less than 1GB RAM. Firefox in itself is not necessarily very demanding in terms of RAM. I am not sure what the figures are you are quoting, or whether they are high. ( Note 1Gb is in the order of 1 000 000 k )
As for not liking the set-up of new versions of Firefox, there is quite abit that can be changed, maybe you would be able to configure it more to your liking with little effort.

HT5622 I just got my iphone. I pushed the app button and it's stuck on the regulations. I can't do anything to bring the app page up. I set up my apple id but it just stays on that page.

Just got my iphone. It won't let me get off the regulations page. I thought I remembered that I pushed I agree. It seems to be stuck on there.

After four days it's definitely not doing anything. The spinning 'beachball' means it's siezed up. Can you click away from the window involved and get to the Finder? Try hitting command-option-escape and force quit anything listed there are 'not responding'. If you can't get that list up you'll have to force a shud down: hold the power button until it shuts down. Then try again with your fingers crossed.

Am running Firefox 7.0.1 now. Normal memory usage is 157mb but when running Facebook (not running apps nor games), it goes up to 553mb Why?

Am running Firefox 7.0.1 now. Normal memory usage is 157mb but when running Facebook (not running apps nor games), it goes up to 553mb Why?

I encountered the same type of problem. Firefox running terribly slowly and slowing down my entire machine (Core i5 with 256GB SSD). Searching the forums, I found a couple of things about troubleshooting performance issues, one of which was to use '''hardware acceleration''', that is on by default. It was turned on on my PC, '''so I tried deactivating it, and it worked!'''
So doing the exact opposite as Mozilla support said solved the problem. It is really a pain now to work with Firefox. I'm using it because I have no choice, but I'd recommend IE and Chrome over Firefox... Whatever, the market will decide once Firefox has become to crappy...

How do I add a desktop link to additional email accounts? I have one email account as my safari home page because it has trouble with apple mail, but I want a one-click link on my desktop that takes me to two other email accounts.

Can you set up a rule in your old account to forward mail to your new account and then delete it from the old account?
