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.

- 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.
- Do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
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?
