    Even I have the same issue I need to work on the switch interface of Mozilla in German and English. I only found an extension that toggles the interface , but where to get the language packs? Read about the installation of English version and reason, and then this extension to switch between languages, but what about German? it is needed most. Tell me please how to solve the problem.

    you can also go to the address, by clicking here and choose your version of Firefox then your system Linux, Mac, Windows, and then go into the xpi file to recover the language files you want. Once in the directory language files, download the language you want, I suggest you right-click the file and "save as" recall the moment we are still in English , so, save the files you want on your hard drive, and then in your browser

    1. File
    2. Open File
    3. Select All Files
    4. then the xpi file



    The file is installed Once the file is installed in the address bar of your browser type the following address: about: config, this address gives you access to all of Firefox's configuration . now In the Filter, type 'general.useragent.locale then change the value by double click on the line, with en for the language file" fr.xpi "or en-GB for file-GB.xpi. hope this will help you

    Thank you for this solution!

    For if it is not easy to find, your reply is very clear to me. I hope that Mozilla will make an effort to make this easier in next release . hey but Before applying, I need to know if it will affect all users of the PC or just my windows session? Thank you for telling me, because for me, the goal is not to annoy other users who wish to retain their language installation.

    Again thank you to you.

    Install Firefox Portable on your portable drive .Start Firefox Install the extension to change location To do this on this link to go to their site extensions, and then there is the green button Add to Firefox Add to Firefox confirm your consent to the installation, wait until the end of the answer and agreeing to restart Firefox - this is standard procedure for all extensions . Install language pack method File and open Now installing the package should go to the menu Tools , Languages and put the box there for the language you want Restart Firefox
