For some reason, like many other applications, Firefox thinks it's a good idea to automatically set to my native language according to probably my location. It's really fucking NOT, the translation is horrible and the transition in the UI to right to left is disorienting - generally translations into Arabic are completely fucking useless, but let's say it's ok because some people may not know English. However unlike other browsers and apps that do this Firefox does not seem to have any way to change the language. I've done it before but for some reason now can't. Of course it feels that it has to revert back to Arabic EVERY fucking update and this time I just cannot change the language no matter what. Please, is a little dialogue box asking for the preferred language, on setup and not EVERY UPDATE, such a big deal? Is using the computer's language instead of location such a big deal?

Thank you.

hi, is it about the language of websites or the browser ui? in the latter case you can install firefox in the language of your choice from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ & install it on top of your current version - that won't change anymore after browser updates...
