Firefox has always come up in English - which is what I want. Last night, for no reason, Google came up in Spanish. I have re-installed Firefox and Google still comes up in Spanish. If I use Explorer or Chrome, Google comes up in English.

Check the web address you are using. Also;


Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode;

Type about:preferences<Enter> in the address bar

Select Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?

Then restart.
