In settings the language is set to English (US) and all pages and menus, notices, etc., appear in that language.

No matter what I do (and I tried removing French) from the list of "alternative" languages in the menu, but though it can be selected, the "remove" button is not active.

I have attached a screen shot.

You can try "Clear Startup Cache" on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page.

Hi, thank you for sharing some of your browser data. It mentions:

"intl": {
  "localeService": {
    "requested": ["en-US", "fr"], 
    "available": ["fr", "en-US"], 
    "supported": ["en-US", "fr"], 
    "regionalPrefs": ["en-US", "fr"], 
    "defaultLocale": "fr"
  }, 
  "osPrefs": {
    "systemLocales": ["en-US", "fr"], 
    "regionalPrefsLocales": ["en-US", "fr"]
  }
}

The ones that seem the most inconsistent with what you want are "defaultLocale" and "available". I'm not sure where those come from. Is it possible that you installed the French-language build of Firefox and added U.S. English onto it rather than installing the U.S. English-language build of Firefox and adding French onto it?

Hopefully someone more familiar with multilingual issues can sort this out.
