Spell check stuck in Spanish
I added Spanish language spell check when I use web-based Outlook to send emails to Spanish speaking colleagues. But now it won't change back. Every web-based email or document, I get red underlines (spell check) for English words. I have to go in after I open every email and click language and then select English. How can I make English the default?
I found one solution that said to go to settings ->preferences, but I cannot find preferences. I have "options" but language is not part of it.

Type about:preferences#content<enter> in the address bar.
At the bottom, find Choose your language.
You can try to reset spellchecker.dictionary to the default value or possibly set to "en-US" via the right-click context menu. You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
Firefox may be saving this as part of the Site Preferences, so you could try to rename (or delete) the content-prefs.sqlite file to content-prefs.sqlite.old in the Firefox profile folder to reset all website specific data.
You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
