[Gmail/Firefox] Gmail Logon Screen is in Hebrew

An Israeli friend was recently accessing his Gmail account on my computer and ever since then I have found that some websites I visit default to Hebrew. For example:
(1) The gmail logon page (https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?) - all the text is Hebrew. However once I enter my email address and password and I get to the Inbox everything is English.
(2) The website www.wordpress.com gets redirected to https://he.wordpress.com, where all the text is Hebrew.

I want to get things back to English.
In Mozilla/Firefox I have "Cleared All History", including cookies -- but that hasn't helped.

Any suggestions?

Hi Nathan:

Thank you for your quick response.

You say: "Its located in settings > personalization > language"

Where is the Settings menu??

Do you mean Tools/Options/Content
(also from the address bar using --- about:preferences#content).

Yes, there is a Language option.
It was set in the following order:
(1) English / United States (en-us)
(2) Hebrew (he)
(3) English (en)

I swapped 2 and 3 and problem solved.

Thank you!

Yes that is where it is located. I was running older version of Firefox since i don't use it all that often. Once i updated my version it was moved to Tools/Options/Content for the language selection.
