I am located in Canada and I have an android device which has a language selection of "English" it does not say US or British, nor Canadian for that matter. I have completed the process of language selection on my phone from scratch and downloaded Mobile Firefox for Androids. Here is the problem: the US english version installs and this is unacceptable. Is there any way to install another version of English manually?

Install Firefox on an Android device using Google Play and you can change the default language

From this directory choose the hardware version and language from here: Ftp: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mobile/rele.../29.0.1/

JoeBlow22, there is also a way to change the default language of the build: http://mzl.la/NgY6AZ

My phone provider uses a version of English which amalgamates US and Canadian English and calls it English. Thus, making the language selection from scratch does not change anything. However, I was able to alter a security setting in order to install the ftp file and everything is going good now. Thanks.
