Firefox keeps changing the language on the page I go to check my e-mail.
When I go to the page where I check my e-mail, Firefox automatically changes the language from English to Deutsch. When I select English again it switches back Deutsch. As far as I know, this is the only page where this occurs. It started after the last update of Firefox. Is there a way to roll back to the previous version?

I thought I had cleared my cache, but I had not thought of clearing the cookies also. I will try this and see if it works.
