How stop wrong (German) Firefox from loading rather than U.S.?

more options

Firefox is my default web browser. I live in Germany but am an English only speaker. Normally, the English version of Firefox comes up when I click "internet" in Windows XP HE "Start" but sometimes the German Foxfire website comes up and no link there appears to the English one. I tried clicking on the URL to the English version which appears as an option when I delete the German URL and type "www" but, again, the German version is substituted. This is not a new problem but previously I have been able to get to the English one on my own.

Are you talking about the Google / Firefox "homepage"? http://www.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=873
