Living in Spain, Firefox keeps reverting back to Spanish. How can I permanently keep the English interface ?

Of course, I get connected to a Spanish hub, when I open Firefox. So, after I have saved my preference for English, and after I have searched for a few items on the Internet, evrything, Firefox, the search results, and all come up in Spanish. Then, I have to change and save my language preferences again, and again, and again.

I would like to know how I can tweak Firefox, so it remains in English.
