While I'm traveling to abroad some of website became into an alien language and I could not even understand. For example Myspace.com or Msn.com change into Chinese. How do I get back automatically for all website into English? How to make Firefox not always change the language depending where we are? Thanks...

hello riyadh75, make sure that your language settings in firefox > tools > options > content are properly set.

Settings for web content, pop-ups, fonts, and languages

however websites may also detect your location based on the public ip address your isp is providing to you & serve the content in the language derived from that. there's nothing firefox can do about this, it will just display the sites as they are submitted by the server. you could use a proxy or vpn-service from an english speaking country to get around that though...
