You can download the en-US version via this page:

Uninstall the current version that is in the wrong language and install that new version.

  • Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.

Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

I uninstalled the previous Firefosx, deleted the folder in the program files, then installed from that site and ran the program, guess what came again in turkish. Lets keep trying. Thanks anyway!

Are the menu bar and the menus still in Turkish?

If you downloaded the en-US version then that can't happen. Firefox 4 stores all components in a packed omni.jar archive file, so you can't end up with multiple languages as could happen previously.

If you only see Turkish on the Bookmarks Toolbar in in the Bookmarks menu then you can rename those bookmarks to the English titles via the right-click context menu (Properties).
