Language packs for different firefox versions are never compatible, and
they tend to prevent firefox from starting with XUL XML parser errors.
The addon compatibility reporter shouldn't override compatibility for
these, or if it does, it should disable them first.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Steps (these are the upgrade steps I followed; it can probably be done with vanilla firefox tarballs as well): Install the addon compatibility reporter. Install language-pack-en-base and enable the language pack. Install firefox from ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable .
Actual Results:  
On start up, Firefox displays a red xml parser error instead of the UI.

Expected Results:  
Firefox starts normally.

Launching `firefox -uilocale en`, and disabling the language pack from
the addon manager's language pane, allows firefox to start again.

Can't turn compat prefs on/off for any particular type. This one could
be tricky.

Blair / Dave, any ideas?
