Any Welsh speaking Firefox users take 2?

I installed the pack for mainly spell check (live in Cardiff and got sick of random red lines under words. But now the browsers in Welsh and a lot of the websites are defaulting to it as well.
I looked at the other one and did what was recommended as well as restarting and, its still in Welsh.

You’ve got to remove the welsh language back on the add ons., In welsh this is known under the Offer option then Ategynnau then when you see it click on it and you’ll have an option either diddymu o’r dadosod. click on dadosod.
TRUST ME I USE FIREFOX IN WELSH
CYMRAEG YW FY IAITH GYNTAF I
Unfortunately, it’s really hard to know what’s up without seeing your browser. It sounds as if you just haven’t managed to remove the add-on. I’m afraid the best advice I can offer is to try doing that again. I don’t know what you did last time so, in case you’ve been doing it differently, do as follows:
Under the tools ("offer") menu there should be a section called "extensions" (probably something like "estyniadau"). Is the Welsh language pack still showing up there? If so, click on it and then click on uninstall ("dadosod"). When a dialogue box comes up, click dadosod again. Do NOT click "diddymu" or "canslo". It’ll probably ask you if you want to restart firefox. Click ok (probably "iawn").
When it restarts, go and check in the tools menu again to see if it’s still there. You might also have to edit preferences too – default page language, for example.
Really though, if you still can’t get rid of it, I think you’ll need to get a Welsh speaker with reasonable computer expertise to actually have a look for you. It’s quite hard to tell you what to do remotely, especially when it involves a language you don’t fully understand.
If all else fails, you can always uninstall firefox and download it fresh. A bit drastic, but not too big a problem.
And for future reference: there’s a Welsh spell-checker available too for firefox. That just does spell checking stuff; it doesn’t change your browser language.
Edit: I also use Welsh firefox, but I was away before. I’m home now, so I’ve had a look. On mine, the language pack is stored under "offer" then "ategynnau" then "ieithoedd". It gives you two options: analluogi (disable) and "dadosod" (uninstall). In principle, either should return your browser to speaking English. The second, obviously, is more permanent.
