Why does my version of Firefox switch languages every two weeks or so?

When I start Firefox every now and then (Win7 machine, and I keep Firefox up to date), the language in all of the menus has changed from English to what I guess is Hungarian. I cannot navigate the menus to simply change the language (perhaps because I am not literate in Hungarian), and have only had success uninstalling and reinstalling the application.
This seems to happen around every two weeks, which makes me wonder if it coincides with Windows updates, but I am not sure.
Any preventative ideas would be great, as well as restorative ones.
Thanks!

I am using Firefox 48.0.2 on a Window 7 Enterprise, 64-bit operating system. The problem I am having is this. I use several web-based tools during the course of my work day and I have noticed some changes in the way data is rendered within the last 2 weeks.
In one instance, I download data from a client’s site via spreadsheet. I get the usual pop up asking what to do with the file (open or save). However, Firefox is also permanently opening a blank tab in the process. Prior this, the blank tab would open and close in the time that it takes the dialogue box to pop. I can temporarily resolve the issue using the following steps: Help menu/question mark, Troubleshooting Information, Refresh Firefox. However, whenever I reboot the machine, Firefox reverts to opening the blank tab again.
Additionally, there is another web-based tool that I use that includes drop down menus and I am noticing the font has changed in the drop down choices. This started the same time as the above issue, and is resolved in the same way (at the same time). They both occur together so when I see one thing, I know the other is also going to occur.
How can I permanently remove this task of refreshing Firefox from my now daily routine?
According to the Bugzilla forum, Firefox is removing support for all NPAPI plugins except Flash. Is this exception of Flash for both Windows and Linux??

This has been going on for awhile, I've made posts about similar issues but I have yet to hear anything. My Firefox is "broken" I guess that would be the perfect term for, At least my Firefox. I experience slowdowns on all webpages, it crashes, it freezes, I get what seems like an unlimited amount of "Unresponsive scripts" which forces me to use task manager to end the Firefox process because waiting for it to debug itself or letting the script load does nothing at all. Even the great check-able "Do not remind me again box" does nothing, I don't even bother checking the box because if there's another unresponsive script, even though its the same error the notification pops up still.
Firefox's memory usage spikes from 500k-900k all the way to 2million, I have exited Firefox and have also tried to use the task manager to end the process when it spikes because Firefox is unusable when it gets that high. Even though when I completely exit out of the Firefox program and use task manager to end the process, If I start Firefox back up the memory usage will climb back to where it was which is usually around the 1.5mil range then from there it goes to as high as 2.3mil then just crashes on me.
This has been going on for awhile now and nothing seems to be worked on.

On the majority of sites I visit Firefox seems to have no problems with the use of Flash Player - but just occasionally videos can't be played. Currently - (Sept 2016) - videos in The Daily Mirror remain blank...although the adverts play perfectly, of course. They were fine last week though. And I happened to visit Yahoo news today and found that videos wouldn't play there either. But videos on the BBC site work fine, as do those at TheJigsawPuzzles site, to mention but two others who use Flash Player. On the other hand they play fine in the Daily Mail - I guess because they use video.js instead.
In addition, all those videos play perfectly well using Chrome or Opera.
I've deleted and reinstalled Flash Player over and over again and done the same with my Firefox browser but all to no avail and I've made sure that the Add-ons "Always Activate" option is clicked - so what's the problem and why can't I get a blanket approval to use Flash Player?
Empty 'other bookmarks' folder
How can I empty the 'other bookmarks' folder? It's full of pages evidently stored due to 'mis-clicks'.
Thanks.

I go to the add-ons page, and none of the images are loaded. I have tried refreshing Firefox, clearing cache and cookies, I have tried just about everything Firefox says to try, and it still doesn't work. I got the page to work one time a couple of weeks ago, but since then, I haven't been able to get on it again.
Add-ons Not Compatible With Multiprocess

Does this mean these are no longer usable?

Hello,
First of all I'm computer illiterate so I might have some hard time understanding some stuff so please be patient and simple in the explication.
The problems started yesterday and it has been going on on and off all day long today. Many things are happening. First I'm using Windows 7 and I have the latest version of Firefox 49.0.1
Yesterday, I was surfing the net and like always had many windows open (4 to be precise). I was looking at my yahoo news, but then I decided to look what was going on on another window. When I did so the page was all white with the spinning wheel in the middle. It took some seconds before the page appeared, (and that problem is persisting ever since). Each time I am on a page and want to look at another 'window' I see this white page with the spinning wheel eventhoug some days ago I could jump from window to window without any problem and see my pages right away. It always takes many seconds before the page appears whether it's facebook, youtube, yahoo news, etc...
Late last night, I was chatting with a friend on a webcam site that I always use. His broadcast was lagging so I decided to refresh the page but it took a very long time before it refreshed (still does it as we speak). We are talking about 30-40 seconds if not near 1 minute. Then the page would appear only to do the same after some minutes. Sometime, it would freeze a very little bit, then it was doing good til the page started shaking or jumping. It had done it quite at lot tonight. When I x the page off then the shaking is onto the next window (remember I always have 4 windows open). So I have to x off the whole firefox browser! Btw, each time I'm trying to x off the page it takes at least 10-20 seconds before the specific window close, same when I tried to x off the browser. Strangely, earlier in the evening everything was fine and there were no major problems with the browser (there were no shaking, freezing nor problems with web broadcast) beside the white spinning wheel when changing windows.
Tonight (some 30min ago) I looked on google for informations about what to do but each time I was using the google search engine, it would take almost 40seconds for the search results to appear. (While waiting the page would sometime start shaking) and then more seconds for the page to load. Sometime it wouldnt let me click on anything.
I scanned the computer using Malwarebytes and it didn't detect any rootkits nor viruses. To be certain, I also scanned with my Avast! Anti Virus and no viruses nor anything found. What could be the problem(s)?
I'm on safe mode right now while writing this message and everything looks fine and it hasnt started shaken nor freezing and when I clicked on other windows the page appears right away!
I'd like some help please :( but like I said I'm not very computer fluent lol!

Hello ! I purchased an item from https://www.ledgerwallet.com but the provided apps works only with the Chrome browser (in fact these apps are just some extensions for Chrome and Android.) Normally I use only Firefox but I did an exception and I downloaded and installed Chrome. It was a nasty surprise to find that Chrome don't work and give this error: There is no Internet connection - DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET I checked and there is no problem with my ISP or my Internet connection is OK. I contacted the support of ledgerwallet.com about this issue and they wrote to me this: "Unfortunately we can't offer our applications on browsers other than Chrome and Chromium since these are the only browsers to natively support USB devices." I want to know if Firefox has the same features like Chrome and Chromium for Windows 7. Regards, A.C.

I have some problems in opening files trough the browser: I have made a html-document linking to different files on the hard-disk like doc, odt, xls and so on. Now when i'm opening the document trough the html-document the first time (with a new-installed firefox) there's no problem in opening the documents. If i close firefox and make the same procedure again the files then are downloaded and are becomming 'read-only' when they are open.
Please help anybody to resolve this issue - don't know where the bug is??

If Firefox can't find any encoding declaration in bot HTTP response headers and web page meta tags, and also can't guess, it will use the default encoding.
But there are only two choices for default encoding: Unicode and Western, as set apart near the top of the "View | Text Encoding" menu item list.
Is it possible to add more choices e.g., Japanese (Shift_JIS)?
"Japanese" has always been selected for Auto-Detect. But not much help.

I use Google calendar to schedule clients. Then I search for their name, highlight, cut & paste their schedule from Google calendar into an email so they have their schedule all in one place.
A few days ago this stopped working. I found several other people having the same problem, but we all posted to Google's community board. As the copy/paste function still works in IE (and never worked in Chrome), I think something has changed on Firefox rather than on the Google side.
Has it? If so, how can we fix it? I really don't want to have to switch to IE as my browser, but I can't work without this cut/paste feature.
Thanks.
