I'm an American living in Ireland, and after having to reinstall my operating system, Mozilla now reads in English (UK) rather than English (USA).

I bank online back in the States, and the current language setting is not compatible with the bank's website back home. It's reading the dates wrong.

Thanks for your help!

You probably used the automatically selected language/locale version when fetching the Firefox installer. Get your preferred version from the full list here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/.

You can also choose your preferred language for pages in Options menu > Content submenu > Languages [Choose...]. This is just a guideline your browser gives for the websites it loads, e.g. you can instruct them to load English instead of French or German.
