Firefox: The interface language is not saved
Open, NormalPublic

Description

Dear Solus team.
I noticed the following problem: after updating Firefox (from 94 to 95, and from 95 to 96), the Firefox interface language switches to English, despite the fact that I set up the Ukrainian interface language. That is, after each update of Firefox, I have to choose the Ukrainian language again.
Could anyone look at this?

I've actually had this happen to me as well, quite annoying. I have a feeling that this line is the culprit and resets intl.locale.requested. As you mention it only seems to happen between major updates. I can try removing that line for v97 and see if that resolves the issue.

@joebonrichie Don t forget about our experiment. I m currently using the Unstable repository, so I can check this before updating the package in Stable. Firefox 97 was released today.

I actually forgot about it so can't test it now. Feel free to reopen if that doesn't solve the issue.

Unfortunately, the problem still exists.

The second build with the fix is still building...

I just updated Firefox. The problem has not disappeared.
