[Bug 1574638] [NEW] Firefox has non-functional preferred language after upgrade

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

It would seem something caused an incorrect language setting in Firefox,
potentially due to 14.04 LTS -> 16.04 LTS upgrade.

I noticed I'm getting redirected to English pages on help.ubuntu.com,
even though that hasn't happened before like eg within the last month.

When looking at it more in Firefox settings -> Content -> Languages, I
noticed the top-most item was "empty" (no language name) with [fi-fi] in
brackets. Beneath it was suomi [fi] and english options. When I removed
the "empty" language from the list, help.ubuntu.com started behaving
correctly again.

At this point I don't have better information but leaving the bug open
to be documented.


Original report:
All links at eg https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/ubuntu-help/index.html.fi point unfortunately to English versions of the pages, like https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/ubuntu-help/unity-introduction.html

The correct links would have the ".fi" added to the URL, like
https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/ubuntu-help/unity-introduction.html.fi
