Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091221 Firefox/3.5.7
Build Identifier: 

This only happens in Windows 7 64 bit PC. I stumbled upon a peculiar work-around: in the tools menu > options, I must choose the American English language option and then click OK. Both problems then go away, but next time I open Firefox, I have to repeat this procedure. Wierd!

Reproducible: Always

What language is it usually set to since the localized build you are using is the en-us build?

i have windows 7 x64, and i can't reproduce your problems.
ensure that you can reproduce in safe mode http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode otherwise it's due to some add-on that you should disable.

Which version are we talking about? 3.6? your reported UA is from OSX10.4 and does not tell us anything about your windows env.
