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?

It is possible that the website is sending a special language header. You may also have to clear the Site Preferences or alternatively rename/remove content-prefs.sqlite to keep the permissions that are stored in permissions.sqlite.

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.

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.
