• How can I change the locale of Firefox?

  Today, my administrator has installed another version of Firefox (version FrontMotion) to my machine. This version has apparently removed my German installation of Mozilla Firefox and installed in English.

  Now, all the shortcut keys, I use have become different and, therefore, lost.

  I couldn't find a preferences to switch to another language. Even to download the last version of Firefox does not allow me to choose my favorite place.

  So, how can I change regional settings in Firefox?

  I could find a localized version of Firefox on this site. However, this new version seems to be a standard version of Firefox. I expected to be ousted in the future again.

  However, now I have my German Firefox version for now.

  Thank you for your help me.
