Is there any way to change Firefox's default unit of measurement when using google?

My google browser on Firefox defaults to the metric system, and while not inherently inconvenient, it is a bit of a nuisance to always have to type "in feet" in my search queries.

I know that in the past I could do:

   Select Tools→Options→Content→Languages→Choose.
   Select your preferred language and then click OK.
   Restart the browser to apply your changes.

But this section of the options menu has been removed (not sure from which update).

Anyway, just figured I'd ask because this seems like useful thing to know.

I'm in Canada, so I chose English USA. I'm guessing I should have chosen English Britain.

Thank you for your assistance! I'll reinstall. :)

Hi, where are you ? What settings are in Windows 10 for your Location. ?? Are you running CA-FR or CA browser or a Europe Browser. ?? As per the options for full installers : https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/

I regretfully have no idea what any of that refers to. I'm a heavy user, but I'm not familiar with the finer intricacies of the software I use.

Apologies!

Sorry, can not help yo then if can not tell me where you are. What and if your Location is set properly in Win10 : Settings --> Time & Language --> Region and Language

Will save you some time, if your are in any other Country than the USA the default is metric as the only country to use Imperial measurement is the USA. So if not in the USA please Mark this as Solved.
