When I downloaded my Atmos Energy statement in Firefox for Linux, it showed the pound sign instead of the dollar sign. When I downloaded the same statement in Windows the dollar sign was used. When I downloaded my Reliant Energy statement in Firefox for Linux, it show the dollar sign.

HI, please try : SAFE MODE

In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:

  • all extensions are disabled (about:addons)
  • default theme is used (no persona)
  • userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored (chrome folder)
  • default toolbar layout is used (file: localstore-safe.rdf)
  • Javascript JIT compilers are disabled (prefs: javascript.options.*jit)
  • hardware acceleration is disabled (Options > Advanced > General)
  • plugins are not affected
  • preferences are not affected

TEST''''is issue still there ?

I see in the troubleshooting information you supplied that there is support for more languages. 

localeService:  available:
0: en-GB;
1: en-ZA;
2: en-US;

So maybe that is causing the confusion.

You can check the order of the installed languages.

  • Options/Preferences -> General -> Languages

See also this pref on the about:config page.

  • intl.locale.requested
