Facebook login screen loads in Arabic. None of my other screens do. LinuxMint 19, but not my other distros.

I am a regular Linux user, with 4 distros loaded that I can boot into. I just updated one of my partitions to LinuxMint 19 (based on Ubuntu 18.04). All my language settings are right, in the distro, in Firefox, and on the website, but when I go to log in to Facebook, the login screen is completely in Arabic, even bring written right-to-left. After I log in, it's fine. I have Ubuntu MATE 18.04 loaded and don't have the problem there, as well as two other distros. This is not a one-time, but an EVERY time, occurrence.

There is a weird 'und' (undefined shorted?) showing in your troubleshooting information. See the Localization section on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page. 

locales supported:
0: en-US;
1: en-GB;
2: en-ZA;
3: und;

You can check the order of the installed languages.

I went to Preferences .> General -> Languages and all that is there is en-us and en. I do not see en-GB or en-ZA or und. So where are these magickal other settings to be found?

Oddly, the next time after asking the question, Facebook came up in English. I thought maybe someone caught a bug from my report. But alas, it is back to Arabic today.
