You can get the Portuguese version of Firefox 4.0 RC1 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html

I know about that, but that's not what i asked. I have it already installed and just want to change the language. Also, because i'm not sure how to uninstall it on Ubuntu

If you do not have the pt-PT language pack then you can add that pack if you do not want to uninstall the English version.


Set the pref "general.useragent.locale" to the name of the preferred language XPI file (e.g. "pt-PT") on the about:config page.
You can open the about:config page via the location bar, like you open a web site.
Use the Filter bar at the top of that page to quickly locate the pref.

Well, none of those tips are working. When i try to install de XPI file i always get the message that is "not compatible with the "b13pre" version.

I uninstalled the app, using the apt-get remove Firefox-4 command at the command line. Then i installed again using the apt-get install Firefox-4 command.

Tried to change the locale to pt-PT as you suggested, and still doesn't change anything.

How can i install the pt-PT package from the mirror, manually, from the start?

XPI won't work, because you have install the language pack in ubuntu, for Spanish this worked for me:

$sudo apt-get install language-pack-es*

$sudo apt-get install language-pack-pt* #for portuguese

Or choose to install it from System -> Administration -> Language Support

Restart Firefox & voila
