> Also, as someone in Canada, I downloaded the "English" version of Firefox, which probably meant "en_US" locale: guess what, I'm affected. As are plenty of less technical people who don't understand about going into about:config and changing things to "en_CA".
The en-ca locale was only added to Firefox in September 2018, I think it's the default for any new downloads since then, but FF won't automatically change the locale for existing installs.
- badrabbit 7y agoCan't you just disable DoH?
- Marsymars 7y agoSure, my point was just tangential to clarify on the availability of the en-ca locale for Firefox. I don't even know that DoH is based on the installed browser's locale in the first place. (I'd guess that it isn't, as I'd expect many non-US users use the en-us locale.)
