For many weeks now whenever I go online, I have used Firefox for years and years, from my home page at Google to every website I search the language comes in as Danish. I speak and read only English. Regardless what I have researched, changed, updated, and un-installed the language starts as Danish and forces me to translate to English. Thus is ridiculous! Never have I had this problem until recently and I truly do not appreciate the extra time I must take to translate or perform the functions listed above which lists waste my time and makes me really think about my years of using Firefox. Why is this? Why does it not stay fixed? What does Firefox need to do to correct thus permanently? Why should I remain a customer if Firefox can't or won't fix this problem?

I'm sorry, but I don't understand. Firefox interface (menus, prompts) is in Danish? Or Google?

I use Firefox as browser. My home page is Google.  When I call up to get online the language is Danish!  After many searches and research I at least now have a popup screen asking if I want to translate to English.  I must do this each time. 

I have used Firefox forever and never have had this problem. I cannot find how to turn it off, I have followed many a direction with no change. 

How do I fix this?
