Hello halej1,

First of all : I assume that you're using this Firefox version :

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/?q=English%20(US)

You don't mention which search engine you use, but in case it's Google, would you please go here :

https://www.google.nl/preferences?hl=en-NL&fg=1

Scroll down to "Region Settings" and make sure the correct region is checked (and don't forget to click the "Save" button at the bottom).


Separate issue :

Your system details show that you need to update your Adobe Flash Player - you are running a very old version, which can cause problems. Would you please uninstall your current version and install the latest version, which is 32.0.0.101

Note : some 'extras' may be offered in the download.
