Hi,

Even though I live in Czech Republic, I set up Firefox to use English. After reading some help here I had to reinstall it using different (EN) installer. That's a bit odd but OK, it worked them.

But when Firefox installed an update, it was again in CZ. :/

Thanks for fixing that.

This can also be a problem with the startup caches.

In Firefox 79 and later you can find "Try clearing the startup cache" -> "Clear startup cache..." on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" page.

Also, I downloaded appropriate language installer from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release but the language in context menus is still in Czech. Could we pls fix that? Thanks a lot! I saw many more questions on this topic..

Also, I can not upload an screenshot to this thread because there is some bug in JavaScript.

Does your OS have a package manager from which you can update rather than use Mozilla? Do you want an English version of Firefox? If that's what you have, you may have to create another profile: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-remove-switch-firefox-profiles EDIT: Do you have javascript enabled? It is enabled by default. Enter about:config in the url bar, accept the risk and check that the following is set to true: javascript.enabled
