Yes, I think it is the same bug as you refer in your next mail.
Anyway, referring to your question - here is how to reproduce it:
installed Ubuntu 10.04
using GNOME interface
system - adminsitration - laguage support
text tab (by the way, this is a misleading tab name, "Locale" or "Dates,
numbers and currency" would be better)
select another language than English for "display numbers, dates, ..."
push apply system wide
log out
log on again
Firefox does not diplay menus in English
Best regards
