Issue

I have another kind of problem with Firefox

Description

I am using Firefox Hindi (Devnagri) version in Windows XP2. When I want to save a web page, the Save As dialogue box opens but at the top of dialogue box empty box type characters are shown instead of file or folder name. In addition in "Files of type" menu alternate black and whie bars in a rectangular box (like bar codes) are shown (instead of Web page complete, HTML only, Text etc.). See attached jpg file.Same thing happens with File Open dialogue.

This is really not a serious problem but more an annoyance as I can still save or open the file. I want to know whether it is a common problem and what is the solution. Do I have to change some options in Firefox itself or do something in XP like installing Complex script support?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Thank very much Cor-el for your quick reply. I will try your suggestion and I am sure it will solve the problem.

Further I would like to just point out that instead of checking for installation of East Asian language support, I would have to check for Indic Language support. Hindi (Devnagri) is not East Asian (Chinese etc.) language but Indian languge. So I would have to install support for Indic or Complex Script as the support for this has not been installed in my XP operating system.

Thanks again for pointing in the right direction.



You're welcome.

Sorry for mixing up the two.
