My Firefox was set to Korean for some reason, and I managed to reset the language to English. Everything was fine, but the bookmarks are still written in Korean and I can't change the settings. When I right click on anything Bookmark related, the drop-down menu is also in Korean. I'd like an explanation for how it got to be this way AND any way of fixing this problem. Thanks!

Please try to do this step. Hope it will work

From the following page, download the version of Firefox you want to install. http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ Uninstall Firefox from the Windows Control Panel. DO NOT check the option to remove your Firefox personal data. Run the installer you downloaded earlier.


edited to remove the leading spaces which were shifting the lines of text into having horizontal scrollbars

Try to rename (or delete) the xulstore.json file in the Firefox profile folder.

You can also try to rename affected folders and (smart) bookmarks via the properties in the right-click context menu in the bookmarks sidebar.
