My Mozilla Firefox is displaying some parts of web sites on the Internet in Latin. Why?

It is literally displaying a Latin translation of what is supposed to be in English. E.g. on the Word Press web site, or others, part of the demo sites are in Latin, usually the main general presentation part.

Can you give an example link?

Does it start out like:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit?

If so, that's demo text the website puts there to show what the site looks like with words.

Yes, that will be it. Thanks a lot! If it appears on some other pages, I will post some examples here.

No need to post examples, that is the developer just putting demo text on a website to show what it would look like if it had real words there.
