I am in the U.S. and recently when I open my default brower (Firefox/Google) it comes up in Chinese and have tried all recommendation given in the forum, but none work.

What caused this and how can I fix it? I can use other browers with no problem but prefer to use Firefox.

Please help.

Sincere thanks, S. Burkhart

What is the URL of your home page in the options:

orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Options > General

(This assumes you set "When Firefox starts" to "Show my home page")

You may know that Firefox is now on version 16, and version 10 contains numerous publicly disclosed security problems.

If Help > About Firefox shows that you're really running version 10, you should strongly consider upgrading.

If it shows you are running version 16, then your browser is reporting the wrong version to websites. To fix that, see this article: How to reset the default user agent on Firefox.
