for some time now, my twitter buttons in firefox show up in Arabic. I'm running Ubunntu LTS version up to date, Firefox 36 up to date, no add ins, virus checked often. The stream is still in english ( or the language of a particular follow), but buttons, Home Discover, favotite etc are in Arabic? So I guess I need help fixing this or to find someone to teach me arabic. ( Haven't noticed this problem on any other websites although youtube restarts video when exiting fullscreen) Thanks for any help

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

If you click on View -> Character Encoding what does it show? It should have a check next to UTF-8 for the Twitter website.

Is this on a website or in the user interface?

Can you attach a screenshot?

  • Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
  • Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB

What are the installed languages?

You can check the order of the installed languages.

Could not find UTF8 but simply going from unicode to western and back solved it. Thanks
