[Bug 244238] [NEW] Firefox 3.0 ignores firefox xpi language packs

[Eduardo Trápani]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I'm running Ubuntu 8.04, language-pack-es, Firefox using es-AR.

I go to the addons site and download

Language Switcher - https://addons.mozilla.org/es-ES/firefox/addon/356?id=356
Persian Locale - https://addons.mozilla.org/es-ES/firefox/addon/3667

Then restart.  The language is listed I can select it but it will not be
shown after restart.  I tried to modify about:config,
general.useragent.locale but it didn't work either.  All this in a newly
created user without any additional rights.

If I download the binary version of Firefox 3, then this *works
smoothly*, not only with Persian, but with other locales (only available
as xpi language packs) too, and I can switch back and forth.  But the
Ubuntu system firefox is blocked at es-AR.

I think it is a bug, and it's limiting the possibilities of Firefox.
There might be a firefox xpi language with no corresponding ubuntu
language pack, and in that case it will not be installable.
