I installed Dutch version of Firefox by accident. I actually wanted the UK version. Reinstalling the UK version went fine but left things like bladwijzers, bladwijzerwerkbalk and various other Dutch words. De-installing and reinstalling did not have the desired effect. I still like to have an all UK version without Dutch leftovers. Who can help to find a solution?

Can you right-click those items and change the name in the Properties to the English version?
That should be possible in the sidebar (Ctrl+B).

Thanks for help.

Was able to change everything the way you advised, apart from the 'main folders' ie. Bookmarks Toolbar, Bookmarks Menu and Unsorted Bookmarks.

All the subheadings could be deleted and changed.

Any ideas??

You can try to reset places.sqlite.
