Language
Firefox thinks I'm typing English. How can I change this? I allready downloaded the German Language Package, but still no change für the better.
Chosen solution
To many suggestions so have a look at the pages and pages. https://www.google.ca/search?q=german+extensions+for+firefox&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=XIxTWYXiF5S2jwPe04WAAQ
Also am just throwing stuff at you to see if any will stick....
Try downloading a version here https://www.mozilla.de/ and or maybe more information for you there also. ____________________________________________________________________ You can check the order of the installed Languages.

There is usually a link on such websites choose a language or go to an international version that allows to choose the language.

1. At the far right corner of your Firefox browser CLICK the menu icon (represented by the 3 short lines) 2. Select the PREFERENCES' 3. The PREFERENCE menu opens on the left with more choices. 4. Select CONTENT 5. Here go to languages and click choose. 6. You will be able to find you preferred language.

In order to make Firefox think you are writing in German, you need to install and activate a German Dictionary, not its Language Package.
The How do I use the Firefox spell checker? article should provide info about adding and selecting another dictionary.
thank you all so much...I reinstalled firefox from firefox.de that made it!
