I set the Google language preferences to French - the next time I restart Firefox, it is back to English.

Using the Google settings, I can make the change and French is present. The next restart, French is gone! I changed general.useragent.locale to "Fr" and switched to the default theme. No help with either. I upgraded to 4.01 - same thing; French does not stick.

Such details are stored in a cookie.

  • Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
  • In Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.

Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.

This did not help. This seems to be browser dependant - I do not see the Google site language "jump" back to English when I use IE. Just Firefox. I put the google.com url as an "Allow" cookie, rather than an "Allow for Session" cookie AND I checked - I am NOT using Private Browsing...

Is there another security/privacy setting that may be affecting this?
