Language settings and display
FF Quantum 65.0 (64-bit) on Debian 9
Language set to English (UK English where available); but for some weeks now, FF has been displaying some text in Marathi. Screen shot attached. This happens with the results of a search through Google. The phenomenon is not seen in the Opera browser even when the search engine and the web page are the same.
Chosen solution
English is the language specified in Google preferences and I do not use a proxy or a VPN. I think I have solved the problem by moving back to Firefox ESR. Thank you for your time.

Sign into Google and check that the settings are English.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
You can try to clear the Google cookies. You can also check the Google settings page.
What is the order of the languages send by Firefox?
- Options/Preferences -> General -> Languages
Thank you, Fred. I did all that you suggested, but nothing changed. Marathi text still appears in places.
Thank you, cor-el. Cookies and many other things are cleared when FF is shut down. First language, English (UK), second Eng. (US)
Looks like I must wait for the next release.
Did you check the Google preferences page?
Are you possibly using a VPN or proxy that could cause this?
