After every update, my entire program changes to Korean. How can I stop this from happening?

I'm an expat living in Korea so my mother language is English. I used to use Firefox as my main browser but it's become extremely user unfriendly. Everytime, the browser updates, EVERYTHING changes to Korean.

I don't just mean the search language, I mean all the menus and pop-up notices become Korean. Please let me know how to stop this from happening. I love Firefox, but it simply takes too much time to delete and re-install every single time there's an update.

That's the problem.

I always download in English, but the updates change the whole program to Korean.

After every update, the whole program switches to Korean. How can I stop this from happening?

This can possibly happen if a partial update fails and Firefox downloads the full version of the locale of yor current IP address.

You can find the full version of the current Firefox 32.0.3 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:

Note that Firefox 33 will be released later this week (Tuesday).
