Is this occurring on websites, in Firefox dialog boxes, or throughout the Firefox interface itself. If it's the latter I'd say someone accidentally downloaded/installed a foreign language version of Firefox, whereas if it's one of the former it could be Firefox is working through a proxy server or a corrupt preference file. Answer the above and share your OS for more information.

when i started firefox, it changed from english to a weird language. internet explorer and opera are in normal english, but firefox says :eook ut ore ees processees celtoon" for "look at our processor selection". i have gone into options and have the language set to english, but this weird dutch persists. any advice?
