When you start firefox the default page is the one from google. In there is a preference link that lets you choose the language you like this page when firefox starts. When you make the changes and save it to load the english page next time firefox goes up, it keep comming up in spanish. Thats on beta version 3.5.4. If you use version 3.1 everything works fine.
