It looks like one of your machines is running en-US and one is running en-UK - see also "Colours" vs. "Colors". The download site will have given you the copy of Firefox that matches the language of the OS, and as they are two different variants of English, you got two different copies of Firefox.

We don't plan to get rid of the UK/US/South Africa distinction. You can manually pick which one you want here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ .
