I originally downloaded Firefox in French when living in France. How can I change the whole site into English?

I would like my Firefox to run completely in English. However, when I originally downloaded Firefox, I was living in France and it automatically downloaded a French version. Do I need to start over again in order to have a 100% English language version of Firefox?

If you have the Firefox user interface (menu bar) in the wrong language or want to change the current language then you can get Firefox in the language of your choice here:

Uninstall the current Firefox version, but make sure that you do not remove your personal data. Install the new Firefox version of the wanted language.

You may need to (re)set the pref "general.useragent.locale" to the preferred language (e.g. "en-US" or "en-GB") on the about:config page.
You can open the about:config page via the location bar, like you open a web site.
Use the Filter bar at the top of that page to quickly locate the pref.
