I restarted my computer and the firefox toolbar as well as any notifications have changed to the Alcholi language. Is this a sign of an old computer or a hacked computer? I didn't do it. Thank you!

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a Clean reinstall. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. You will not lose your profile unless you opt-in to do so. Please follow these steps:
Note: You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
- Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
- After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
- Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
- Windows:
- C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
- Mac: Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
- Linux: If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see Install Firefox on Linux. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
- Windows:
- Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
- Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
- Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.
Thank you - but I am also wondering if this is a sign that I was hacked?
Very unlikely, unless someone else was on your computer or something.
- Go to the add on manager and see if it's there
- Right click the top bar where the toolbars are and see if it's at all there and uncheck it
- go to add or remove programs and see if the toolbar is there.
