Nasdaq.com automatically switches to nasdaq.com/zh, which is in Chinese.

Every time I go to nasdaq.com, it automatically defaults me to nasdaq.com/zh, which is in chinese. I can't figure out how to get it to switch back.

It used to work fine, and I already tried clearing my cache and surfing there in private mode. I cleared all my nasdaq.com cookies as well. Browser is Firefox 35.0. IE works fine, but Firefox will not. Typing in the URL or surfing there gives the same result.

Check your language settings (Prefs -> Content -> Languages). It's possible that Chinese is set as your first language.

Go to www.nasdaq.com/en (and what mkultra said)

You don't mention where you're browsing from, but some sites are known to do IP-based geolocation to try to pick a default language, so that could be another reason clearing cache/cookies isn't working.
