Firefox search thinks I am german?


Recommended Posts

This is a weird problem I have had in Firefox for some time. I use the quick search box on the toolbar in Firefox, and on occasion, when I hit search, the google page comes up in German. I can easily fix it by going into prefrences and changing back to "englisch". But why is this happening in the first?? Why does think I am German??

Perhaps you or another user has said that you were German/speaking at some point along the road.

Try clearing your cookies if this comes up again. I do not think this has anything to do with Google itself, however try http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en for your Google preferences to see if it is in there (Under "Search Language").

This thread made me laugh just the way it was worded. Firefox thinking you're German, hahaha.

Anyways, odd how it's suddenly doing that.

Actually I want to ask as well, how to change Firefox's search bar to search using a specific domain of google? I've accidently done this before, but I changed profile and it reverted back to the default (Canada). I want to set the firefox search bar to use the .com domain...

Did you ever get this sorted, I also have it, I'm fairly sure I'm not german though!
