In Firefox settings, I only have English and maybe English (US) as
possibilities, but.....

I just tested this and it certainly works in the google search field,
and probably eveywhere. I dont' think that today I pressed those keys
at the same time, not even two of them, but regardless, when it happens
the next time, this might well put it back the way it should be. Thanks.
I googled too and didn't find anything.

Background that might benefit those in the US and probably your country
too: Not when I first started this thread but in today's case, I was
trying to claim some unclaimed property. I did this years ago and
claimed everything that was listed, which was only from my mother**
iirc. I know I looked my own name up at one time, and there was
nothing, but now there are 4 items!!!! Things continue to be reported,
after the business has them unclaimed for a several years. You should
check your own name and the names of your parents, and maybe
grandparents, in the state*** you live in and other states you have
lived or invested in. ***Each American state has its own Unclaimed
Property office.
Besides money, they will keep the contents from unclaimed safe deposit
boxes.
One item for me is $0-100 at Brookstone. I might have bought something
from Brookstone once, or even twice, but if I did, I got it. I have no
recollection of paying them for something I didn't get, unless they
charged me when I didn't expect it, and then they held the money for me
for years. ??? Maybe when I see the amount it will ring a bell, but I
doubt it. The amount is the only additional information I will learn.
**(My father died in 1955, although they will keep this money for many
decades and I should check on him too. Okay, one man with very similar
name, but in a diffent city and that's all. My father spent his whole
life after age of 1 in one state, so that helps, and I think he had an
attorney who did a better job of rouding up assets than I did when when
my mother died.)
