I am located in Sweden, but use the English language on my computer. Yosemite is set up to operate in English. Firefox stbbonly insists on having a swedish interface! How do I change this to english? The solution given in the Help; setting the prefered language in System Preferences/Languages & Region doesn't work. As a matter of fact I've removed all laguages, but english.

I never had this problem in Mavericks (10.9)

Thanx, that solved the problem. Strange I have never had this "problem" before. I've been using Firefox for years and years.
