Hello,

My firefox account is in the region of France and the language is French. Yet I have never been to France or speak French. When I created my account I created it in English as French is not my language. When I first downloaded firefox I naturally downloaded the English version and but as soon as I logged into my account everything changed to French. My search results are in French, the websites presented to me in French. I have changed the language settings to English, I have also changed my profile to Canada and Language as English yet my account is still in the French region and the language French. I would like my region to be changed to Canada and my default language to be English. Please look at the attached screen shot. The system language of my computer is also English.


Thanks, Ruptanu.

You can use websites like these to check how your location is reported via a reverse DNS lookup of your IP:

You can check the connection settings and check for possible issues with a Proxy or VPN service.

  • Settings -> General -> Network: Connection -> Settings

If you do not need to use a Proxy to connect to internet, select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.
