I'd like the Enlish version of the browser on my laptop, not the Dutch version. How can I change this?

When downloading Firefox to my laptop I was automatically provided with a Dutch version (i.e. Dutch menu bars), probably because I reside in The Netherlands. I don't want the Dutch though. I want the English version. Obviously I can de-install the Dutch version. But I don't want it to be replaced with another Dutch version. Can I opt into an English version when downloading? If so, what button should I be looking for?

Chosen solution

I was going to say use a language pack from https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/language-tools/ but there is no en-US, however there is en-GB.

You can find any language you'd like at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

Type about:preferences#content<enter> in the address bar.

On the bottom of the page, find Languages. To its right, press the Choose button. Make sure the correct language and district is selected.

That is for web pages and not for the language of the browser menus (as the "(i.e. Dutch menu bars)" was referring to) and in Options/Preferences and such.
