google in firefox keeps changing english language setting, how to fix this?
I would like google in firefox ALWAYS stay in English language wherever I travel. Before I used Opera browser and there was no such question. I tried alot of web search with no definite solution. Do I have to go back to Opera again. I found out that there are so may people out there suffering from the same problem. Opera shouldn't be the only solution.

Do you mean this:
Google.com will redirect to a local site when you're traveling, based on geolocation using data about your current ISP connection. To bypass that, you can use
(NCR = no country redirect)
This sets a cookie that Firefox sends to Google.com with every request so Google remembers that you don't want to be redirected. If you clear Google cookies, either manually or at shutdown or using an add-on, then you have to set the ncr cookie again the next time it happens.

Sometimes, the computers current location can override user setting. Check your computer, and Firefox language settings.
Type about:preferences#content<enter> in the address bar.
On the bottom of the page, find Languages. To its right, press the Choose button. Make sure the correct language and district is selected.

You can find Google search engines, including a 'No country redirect' version, on the Mycroft Project website.
