[Bug 550222] Re: Firefox interface language set to LANG, ignores LANGUAGE

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Using LANG instead of LANGUAGE is not the default behavior of Firefox.
For some reason, Debian seems to have created the problem through a
firefox.js file with Debian specific preferences:

$ grep -B1 'matchOS' /etc/firefox/pref/firefox.js
// Use LANG environment variable to choose locale
pref("intl.locale.matchOS", true);

I figured out how to change the behavior to our liking, and the solution
is described in the patch (or hack) I attached to this bug. The same
solution works just as well for Thunderbird, btw.
