Although I live in France and can speak French I resent having English Language web pages automatically replaced with a /fr version in French. How can I prevent this?

The website probably redirects you because of your location (France) regardless of your language settings.

You could try to turn geolocation off, that might help:

  1. In the URL bar, type about:config
  2. Type geo.enabled
  3. Double click on the geo.enabled preference
  4. Location-Aware Browsing is now disabled

In the meantime, you can navigate directly to the US version of Norton's website: http://us.norton.com/

Hello,

  1. Type about:preferences#content in the address bar and press Enter.
  2. You'll see a section called 'Languages'
  3. There you'll find a button called 'Choose' that allows you to change/add display languages of websites
  4. Click that button and add English (if it isn't yet in the list) and move it to the top, that way pages will be shown in English whenever possible.

I hope this answers your question.

I have already specified English in my language preference. This does not help the following problem. I type URL norton.com The browser redirects me to URL fr.norton.com showing a page in french. I want to get to the US website and read in original home language English, not even a translation

Thank you, Gert - for the response and the quick and competent service. . The geo location tip works! At least for Norton, but I am sure all other occurences. Regards, Chris
