* You can't create custom language tags using the standard interface. (You can, however, via about:config, using intl.accept_languages if you are geeky enough.)

On Mac OS X the language sent is that specified in the OS X system language preferences. To change those preferences go to System Preferences > Language & text > Language. You can have a long list of languages in this dialog box, but Safari will only send the top item with the Accept-Language header. You can't create custom language tags.
On Windows, you can't change the language sent by Safari. The language sent with the Accept-Language header is derived from your system settings.

How to personalize web pages with additional functions in Firefox ?
I have many favorite web pages which I visit very often. But not all of them give me the features and functions I expect from them to be perfectly user-friendly. For example: a button in order to download videos from YouTube, the possibility to search Usenet file names from Forums directly in the NZB Index, etc. I would like to make and add my own customizations, but also find some new ideas from an existing community.
