Hallo, seit dem Firefox 18.0.1 Update ist mein Firefox ohne mein Zutun komplett auf Englisch umgestellt worden!! - Wie kann man dies wieder rückgängig machen??

Da ich der englischen Sprache nicht gerade sehr mächtig bin und bis Firefox 18.0.0 stets alle Tabs, Befehle, Dropdowns u.a. auf Deutsch vorhanden waren, ist dies sehr ärgerlich. Ich dachte zunächst, dass es sich nur um einen Fehler dieses speziellen Updates handeln würde, doch mit dem neuesten Update 19.0.0 hat sich an den englischsprachigen Einstellungen nichts geändert.

Wie also kann ich Firefox wieder auf Deutsch umstellen, ohne es komplett neu installieren zu müssen??

I wish to be able to perform google searches from my address bar. I used to e able to do this but after uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, for speed issues, it no longer works and merely says "sorry we could not find 'search term' ".

I have followed the steps outlined in http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-web-address-bar Keyword.enabled is set to true and keyword.URL is set to https://www.google.com/search?q= but it still doesn't work.

Any help is gratefully accepted.

I'm currently writing a Selenium 2 (Ruby) automated testing suite.

I would like to be able to pass something that invokes an instance of firefox in headless mode.

This would allow me to run automated tests whilst carrying on with manual tasks on another, standard set-up instance of Firefox.

If this is possible, that would be fantastic.

Earlier when i used to enter some words in the address bar and press enter firefox would use google's browse by name search and redirect to what i want. For example if i wrote fb, it took me to facebook, and if i wrote something ambiguous it would open a google search for the query. Recenly, it somehow changed. I have keyword.enabled set to true and the keyword.url is http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q= but when i enter something in the address bar, it uses the active engine in the search box. if i have wikipedia active in the search box and i type google in the address bar, it takes me to the wikipedia page for google.

In Firefox 21 for Mac OS, there is no longer any preview image, which is usually a little screenshot of the left end of the toolbar, shown for a theme when you click the "More" link to get more information about the theme. The only image there now is the theme icon. Where did that preview go and why is it gone? The preview images are still in the .jar files in all the themes I have, so they are still available.
