After returning from 5 weeks in Japan, Firefox still gives me Japanese sites - eg, search 'cat' in ff and I get Japanese wikipedia, same search in Safari produces English. Annoying!
After returning from 5 weeks in Japan, Firefox still gives me Japanese sites - eg, if I search for 'cat' in Google using Firefox and I get Japanese Wikipedia and a whole lot of other Japanese sites. If I repeat the same search in Safari, I get English Wikipedia. I read Japanese, but that doesn't mean I want to all the time! How can I fix this?
