I downloaded Ff 8.0. I want to change from English to German menus. How can I achieve that?

Hmm, me, I were be told, that this xpi (from the Link above) isn't compatible with this Version (8.0) of Firefox.

Does anybody has an idea, what is going wrong?

In the about:config - Tab it is already >de< selected; but all menus are still in English.


Thx

Install German language pack for Firefox 8.0 from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest-8.0/win32/xpi/de.xpi .

Type about:config in the location bar.

Search for general.useragent.locale .

Change it's value to de or de-DE.

Restart Firefox.
