I propose to introduce multilanguage support in the browser, because it is inconvenient to change the language interface to delete it and install again.

Note that you need to close and restart Firefox to change the language of the user interface, you can't do that on the fly.

You can create a desktop shortcut with the "-UILocale xx-xx" switch appended to the command line to start Firefox with a specific locale. Start > Run: firefox.exe -UILocale en-US

You can find language packs here:
