how to stop firefox defaulting to czech currency and language when I want GB pounds and UK English
Using the address bar, I type in a search criterion and the answers or shortcuts shown always contain czech prices or language. How can I default to English and GBP, please. My chosen settings are for English and I cannot see a setting that allows you to choose preferred country (used to be available in older versions).

Maybe this will explain it better :
- Got to google.com or google.co.uk,
- At the bottom (right side) click on 'Settings',
- Click on 'Search settings',
- Scroll down to 'Region Settings',
- Choose either 'Current Region' or 'United Kingdom',
- Click on the blue 'Save' button at the bottom of the page.

Hello Maren22,
You can download Firefox in your preferred language from here :
Also : if you use Google as your search engine, when you're on google.com (or google.co.uk) go to Settings (at the bottom right) => Search Settings => Region Settings => click either 'Current Region' or 'United Kingdom' (and click the blue 'Save' button at the bottom of the page).
What languages are reported on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page in the "Internationalization & Localization" section?

The settings are: Internationalisation & Localisation Application Settings Requested Locales ["en-GB"] Available Locales ["en-GB","en-US"] App Locales ["en-GB","en-US"] Regional Preferences ["en-GB"] Default Locale "en-GB" Operating System System Locales ["en-US"] Regional Preferences ["en-GB"]
However I still get Czech currency in the Google responses.
