Firefox/Newegg.com Fix

Some users of Firefox will occasionally encounter an issue with www.newegg.com.  The problem will manifest itself as an inability to load the website.  The fix-all is to delete your Firefox profile, but there is a easier approach.  For me, its a language setting that gets changed for some reason.

To see if this is the problem your having and fix it:

  1. Enter about:config in the address bar and press enter.
  2. Check the entry key “intl.accept_languages.”  For me the value had been modified to “chrome://global/locale/intl.properties”.
  3. If step 2 is true, select the key, right-click, and select reset.
  4. Try accessing www.newegg.com, it should work now.
