I have my homepage set on Yahoo in english. But lately I get it in german with a big, white popup, probably asking me to accept cookies. I have no idea what to do or where to ask, maybe someone here can help me with this SO annoying issue?

Not sure if this helps, but you can put the link to a website into Google Translate, and then you'll get the translated version of that link. If that doesn't work, could you maybe post a screenshot of what you're seeing so I can try to translate myself?

You're right and it IS a cookie-popup.

  • Alle akzeptieren: Accept all
  • Alle ablehnen: Reject all
  • Datenschutzeinstellungen verwalten: Manage privacy settings (probably to set individual cookies)
I see that the Yahoo page in the background (behind the popup) is also in German. No worries, you should be able to set the language to English! Just follow the instructions below (I've also added screenshots, you can click the thumbnails to get the bigger images):

First go to the top of the page and click "Weitere...":

Then click on "Yahoo International":

And finally click on either "United Kingdom (English)" or "United States (English)":

I hope this helps to fix things!

Thank you, it helps but doesn't save, have to do it every time I open my comp at homepage again. Still better then before, had to click "ablehnen", since I reckon the other one means accept :D

Hmm, the only other thing I can imagine to do, is to check which URL is currently set as your homepage in Firefox. Maybe a bug messed it up and set it to be the German link?

Yes, "ablehnen" is the Reject-option, while "akzeptieren" is the Accept-option.

(also omg thank you for the gift <3)
