Your troubleshooting information shows this locale language data: 

osPrefs: regionalPrefsLocales:["en-GB"];
systemLocales:["en-US"]; 
localeService: available:["en-GB","en-US"];
requested:["en-US","fi"];
regionalPrefs:["en-GB"];
supported:["en-US","en-GB"];
defaultLocale:"en-GB";

Did you check the installed languages and their order?

Download from www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in order to get Firefox in the locale you want.

Hello Jonathan,

A complete stab in the dark, but your system details show that you're using "Startpage.com" search engine - maybe you could check the language settings :
