Problem with youtube in Firefox

Post by ghost »   0 likes

If i go to youtube.com, Firefox always leads me to es.youtube.com. So this side is written in spanish!

I still don't know why. I found nothing in the config and i am using no proxy.

Any ideas?

What language have you selected in the control panel> languages and regional settings?
What is the current location set there?

The "site" link in the top right of youtube pages is used to select the locale. (Though it doesn't actually work for me because I have scripts off, but it gets my locale right so I have no real need.)

The choice is saved in a cookie, so another way to approach it would be to look at your cookies and delete the youtube one which is labeled "LOCALE_PREFERENCE".

Thanks FLL!

After i disabled my webfilter i could use the 'site' menu on the youtube site. That was working.
