I upgraded to windows 10 and had to re-install firefox. Since the re-install, all setting are US and not UK. I libve in the UK and have tried changing all settings to UK Language and changed my homepage to use google UK search, but this hasn't helped.

I have also removed firefox again and re-installed supposedly the UK version, but still getting US pages when I search anything. The default search option for Google is only in US and I do not have the option to change this.

Please advise.

Thanks

In about:config [typed in the URL bar] what is the "value" for this pref?

general.useragent.locale - en-US or en-UK?

The locale is showing as en-uk....

The first question, unfortunately I cannot pinpoint on what you require, as when the about:config brings up a page of many things.

Thanks.

There's a search field that the top of about:config to find and display specific preferences.
