@Shinigami-Sama
What are you reffering to? Your firefox will not properly display english text reliably? Have you tried adding english to your list of default character encodings? Or setting your default character encoding to UTF-8?

It would be kick arse if more sites used UTF as their default encoding. Sometimes those special characters can come in handy. Or it is really nice to be able to have multiple languages all on the same page! But at least you can use it to decode pages in random languages rather reliably.

hmm?
I ment I kep getting re-directed to japanese pages if I use firefox to click links
but if I use buggy IE I get hte real page not re-directed to the japanese version

Wiggy. I have never had a similar problem. Sounds like whatever sites are doing this are just poorly designed sites. About the only thing I can think of is that perhaps the site is looking at your user agent settings at redirecting you based on that. Try the user agent switcher extension and see if that changes things. I assume from what you said that you are using a japanese version of Firefox on a Japanese version of Windows. So said sites automatically assume you should go to the japanese version if avalible without asking. Odd.

@neko
no...
I have english xp-home sp1:scared:
and am running english firefox...
try going on the m$ homepage
you should see what I mean and most site either switch me or say it;s not compatable with firefox
although I guess we should do this in pm seing as how far off topic it is
