Thanks for the additional details. I think I found what is happening,  
and it is a bug of TestGen4Web.
(This is a bit off-topic, and should probably go to the TG4W forum,  
so I put Vinay Srini, its creator, in CC)

In more details: TG4W comes with an italian localization, but it  
seems that this localization has not been maintained for the latest  
versions (at least 0.41.1 to 0.50.1), and the translation for a  
number of keys is missing. Among others: the Loop, Help, Automate and  
About buttons, and the Fancy preferences tab.
Until this problem is fixed in TG4W, you can work around it in  
several ways, the easier ones being:

* use an english version of Firefox, so that the english localization  
of TestGen4Web is used

* if you need to use an italian version, you can disable the italian  
translation of TG4W by doing the following:
    1. First install the TestGen4Web plugin in Firefox.
    2. Locate you firefox profile directory. On windows it should be
          C:\Document and Settings\[YOUR_USERNAME]\Application Data 
\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[PROFILE]
       or something similar with some parts translated in italian.
    3. There is usually only one profile, for example  
"f123abcde.default".
       Inside the profile directory, find the "chrome.manifest" for  
the TG4W plugin.
       For me it was:
           ...extensions\{3c20433a-61bc-42fe-831d-415860e17283} 
\chrome.manifest
    4. Edit the chrome.manifest file with a text editor and remove  
this line:
	locale	recorder it-IT	chrome/recorder/locale/it-IT/
    5. Save the file and restart Firefox.


Cheers,
