I'm stumped. I'm developing a site with localization, and it cannot seem to display the translated content when clicking the Language Switcher. This happens on Firefox only! It worked on a separate site, and the only difference that I can think of is that for this problematic site, the default language is not English. I'm using another language as the default (blank prefix), and activated the 'path prefix with language fallback' option. English is using the en prefix.

Safari and IE loads the page just fine, and can switch to the translation as it should. I noticed that Firefox does not update its language encoding (it sticks to en), so maybe that's it. Wonder if anyone can confirm this or suggest a fix.

What language switcher are we talking about? I did not hear about this issue before, and it was apparently not confirmed by others either. If you are talking about the switcher block, it is not supposed to switch language of nodes in Drupal 6. If you talk about the language llinks under nodes, they should change the URL, so should show different content regardless of browser.

I assume you talk about the block, which does not change node language. So marking by design.

Well, more than one year later and I am having almost the same problem.

The website I am building www.panyara.com (English/Spanish) has a block language switcher that works perfectly here when I test it in London with FireFox 3.6.6, Safari 5.0 and IE 8.

However when the owner of the website tests it from Madrid the language switcher doesn't work with FireFox 3.6.6 - she can only see the Spanish version of the website.

For example if she writes in Firefox:
- www.panyara.com she sees the home page in Spanish - when it should be in English as the Spanish version should be only displayed in www.panyara.com/es
- if she writes on Firefox http://www.panyara.com/content/about-me - one of the English pages - the browser reverts automatically to http://www.panyara.com/es/content/about-me displaying a 'page not found'

Thus she cannot see any of the English comments or reply to them; well, she can use Safari but it would be good to know what is going on with Firefox.

Any suggestions appreciated
