Google Is Incorrect Language in Firefox

When ever I use Google products in Firefox the page is in Thai. I am in Thailand, but I don't get this problem when using Chrome.

If I manage to find the language selector to change to English, its soon goes back into Thai.

I have checked the settings in my Google account and they are English, I have tried clearing my cookies and cache but the problem still persists.

Any suggestions to correct this? Is this a Google issue, or a Firefox issue?

  • type about: config in firefox address bar, then press "enter" to access the options of Firefox.
  • In the search for general.useragent.locale
  • Right-click it and click on "Modify", then enter, for example, "en-US" to set it to English.

Thanks Jay, but I'm afraid it's already set to en-US :(

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache. Note: This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to. To clear cache and cookies do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
  2. Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
  3. Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
  4. From the details list, check Cache and Cookies and uncheck everything else.
  5. Now click the Clear now button.

Further information can be found in the Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox article.
