Firefox Problem

[phil p]

Hi,

wonder if anyone can help.

I recently downloaded the newest vwesion of Firefox but I'm having bother with it, Ive used it for years and never had any bother at all really.

New version is 10.0?

Whats basically happening now is when you go to shopping to goes straight to the U.S. version of e bay.

Ive tried and thought I'd changed it to the UK version, and Ive also taken it off and downloaded it several times to no avail.

Any ideas??

Thanks

My copy comes up with Google search and results in UK links such as Axminster PT and all prices in £'s.

What search engine have you selected as your search option.

What do you use as your home page?

When you say "go shopping" what do you actually mean?

If you want uk eBay just type ebay.co.uk into the address box. For Axminster, type axminster.co.uk - etc.

Or do you mean "shopping" results on a search engine?

Firefox doesn't have a setting for Location as such, sites use IP sniffing to direct you to the correct version. It may be picking up on an incorrect windows region. Go to control panel and find Region and Languages. In there check that its all pointing to the UK. Also in firefox under view (press alt to get view menu) check what region the character encoding is set on, should be western or unicode I think.

If you meant google shopping, is it because you've not set your location since updating? Try an be a bit more specific about the problem, it could be a few things.

Go to the search box drop down, click manage search engines, then remove the ebay option from the list that appears and close the window. Then go to this page https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search-tools/shopping-e-commerce and scroll down to the ebay search suggestions for UK. Click Add to Firefox and that should fix it!
