Thanksfor the replies. I may have deleted more than I should have when I deleted all of Mozilla files and folders. I may have lost all my Bookmarks and other settings. Now my email programs which I had tied to Firefox won't open.

It may be a bit late to say this now, unless you happen to have a file undelete utility to hand, or have some form of backups. When cor-el mentioned installing on top of the current version the intention would have been to suggest not deleting anything.


For future reference, when installing Firefox normally there is no absolute need to delete the old version first in most cases. It is normal to NOT use any options from Windows of Firefox that delete personal settings, or bookmarks, passwords and other settings will be destroyed.


If you do happen to have any system backups that will have backed up the Firefox profile there is a good chance that you could recover the data. (Or if you manually deleted the files and they went into Windows Rubbish Bin) I don't suppose you have bookmarks synced to any other computer or device do you ?


To answer a couple of your questions......Yes it is just the Spanish Search engine and every word surrounding that page. If I type in a Search for something, I get mostly english, but more than a few spanish results.


As far as finding Show Home Page ( and subsequently finding Bing), I can't read the Spanish to know what is Home Page or anything else in Spanish. Maybe someone will have to translate the words for me.


Like I said, this new version of Firefox only show me a Firefox tab in the upper left corner with a down arrow. Clicking the down arrow does not show me a Tools option. Unless I am not looking in the right place, maybe?


As far as herramientos, I found it in a drop down menu in a 'gear' icon toward the upper left. Clicking it gave me: configuracion de busqueda, Busqueda avanzeda, herramientas del idioma, iGoogle, Historical Web.


Have you got the English XP (or whatever system you use?) If you have, go to start>control panel>add or remove programs>mozilla firefox, & remove the damn program. Then use IE to search for the English version of firefox. Load it, then see what happens.


What I did was cor-el's help on how to find the old Menu Bar. Once I found that, I followed the previous instruction on Clearing All Cookies. Then I restarted Firefox and it came up in English. I am still not familiar with the new look of Firefox's new orange box.


If you now have the English version of Firefox you will already have a selection search engines in that including Bing. By default the search bar is located top right next to the bar that you enter addresses into.


And restart the browser to have the interface localized in French. Notice how the message is displayed in both languages, to provide users with another hint to the user that they selected the right language.


This feature is enabled by default in Beta and Release versions of Firefox. Language packs are not reliable on Nightly, given that strings change frequently, and a language still considered compatible but incomplete could lead to a completely broken browser (condition known as yellow screen of death, where the XUL breaks due to missing DTD entities).


First of all, there are still a few bugs to fix (you can find a list in the dependencies of the tracking bug). Sadly, there are still several places in the code that assume the language will never change, and cache the translated content too aggressively.


There are also areas of the browser that are not covered by language packs, and would need to be rewritten (e.g. the profile manager). For these, the language used always remains the one packaged in the build.


This is the result of an intense cross-team effort. Special thanks to Zibi Braniecki for the initial idea and push, and all the work done under the hood to improve Firefox internationalization infrastructure, Emanuela Damiani for UX, and Mark Striemer for the implementation.


My firefox browser is a mess after the last update .

I am in Brazil , but I always use my browser in english .

But right now its half on English and half Portuguese , some times inside the same box .

In options I have all set for English .

How to fix this ?

That is unlikely gonna happen and you have couple of choice, you can remove firefox from your silverblue system and install from toolbox with codecs and have it all. Or you can install codecs to layer it.


If you ask why do we have firefox, It is because when you install silverblue or using live mode you need a tool to access internet and search what you need in case problem or upload logs and any other situation you encounter, So that firefox gonna stay and stay updated and secondly fedora always goes forward and there is no plan to swap firefox with LTS and would actually cause more problem then solution because certain fixes and changes we need in for example wayland or codecs or optimizations etc. So that is why It will be stay as it is.


There could be runtimes compatible with the org.fedoraproject.Platform which provide support for FFmpeg and other patented software, similar to how there are FFmpeg and openh264 extension runtimes for org.freedesktop.Platform.


Yes, you can use "espaol" as a subdomain as well as a domain. When a user types "espaol.mydomain.com" into their browser, it will be translated into Punycode and the request will be made to that URL which would look like "xn--espaol-zwa.mydomain.com".


Sure you can use it. The punycode version is xn--espaol-zwa.mydomain.com. It doesn't matter if the TLD (.com) allows IDN names, because is a third level domain and in .com is up to you what you put in the third level. Your main concern is with the browser support with idn, but now is natively supported in the last versions of firefox, explorer, and chrome, by the way.
