A page appeared on my computer offering an opportunity to download Firefox 4 English (British), but I am in the U.S. Is this product designed for U.S. use, or is there another version that is better suited.

You can get the English (US) version from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

For info the differences are fairly minor.

  • There are some spelling in the user interface that are different, for example colour instead of color
  • The default search engines used in the search bar are UK specific
  • It does not include a dictionary for the spell checker, you can add a dictionary from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/
