I have changed Firefox language to English from Preferences > Language However, in some part of Firefox it is still Turkish (The country I have downloaded it from). For example, Firefox menu is all Turkish. But File menu is all English. Also most of in-app dialogues are Turkish.

You can check all installed language packs under on "about:addons -> Languages" and make sure they have been updated to the current release (cogwheel button -> Check for updates).

You may also have to start Firefox once with the -purgecaches command line switch to refresh the startup caches. Make sure that Firefox is closed via "Firefox -> Quit Firefox".

On Mac you need to open a terminal window to be able to enter this command.
