Am running XP SP3. Had FFox v3.12.6 (or 3.6.12) I later upgraded to v5.0.1 -ENGLISH VERSION. It worked for a couple of days, then the GUI interface turned to Greek. All the menus, some form fields and other stuff is now in Greek. Please don't tell me to go to the menu, choose tool, choose options, because all I see is GREEK!

If the Firefox user interface (menu bar) is in the wrong language or if you want to change the current language then you can get Firefox in the language of your choice here:

  • 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.

Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
