I have also found Firefox 1.0.6. opens speaking a non-English language, 
perhaps CZ, but I'm not sure. Definitely not German. I believe the 
problem is due to an extension, or the addition / removal of extensions, 
but I haven't narrowed this down.

Solution, especially if you don't speak the language in question:

Type "about:config" in the URL box.
Type "locale" as the filter. Check each value.

"general.useragent.locale" - en-US or en-GB etc.
"intl.locale.matchOS" - true
"general.useragent.contentlocale" - 
chrome://navigator-region/locale/region.properties

I've had success just toggling "intl.locale.matchOS" from true to false 
to true and restarting.
