On setup, Firefox picked up my IP, or OS settings, and installed in Hebrew. I'd like to change it to English, but have not been able to find how to. I'm not talking about the default language to display webpages in - but the actual browser (menues, headers, LTR vs RTL etc)

hi tamarso, you can download the right language version from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ & install it on top of your current installation.

You may have to check the value of the general.useragent.locale pref on the about:config page.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
