My addons site is currently stuck in German. I accidentally loaded the site with the de-DE locale active in Firefox (Was testing extension localisation via Quick Locale Switcher), and it now refuses to stay in English.
Visiting the en-US site specifically was suggested on the forums, and I've also tried changing the language via the dropdown. I have checked the Firefox locale settings & also tried clearing cookies.

I'm not sure if this is an account specific problem, and I need to keep this account as I've got an extension on there.
AMO user is [e-mail]

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to AMO, and enter my account/ login. Site is now in German.
2. Change locale.
3. This now sticks for the current AMO session, but as soon as I navigate away or logout it changes to German again.
Actual Results:  
Site stuck in German once a new AMO session is initiated.

Expected Results:  
Locale change should stick!

AMO obeys your locale preferences, which can be changed through Preferences > Content > Languages (or with the locale switcher add-on).

Yep, trouble is that they're currently set to English. This is my order of preference direct from options:
en-GB
en
en-US

If you'd like the site to be in German, add 'de' as your top language preference.
