[Bug 1866059] [NEW] firefox-locale-* packages do not enable localization => post-install localization is not complete

[Paride Legovini]

Public bug reported:

On 2020-03-03 I installed a Focal system from the latest ISO image and
chose the Italian localization at install time. The localization setting
worked as expected, but not for Firefox: its interface is still in
English. No "Italian" option shows up in the 'Preferences -> Language'
menu (the menu is empty).

The firefox-locale-it package is correctly installed. I tried installing
firefox-locale-fr and restart Firefox, but I still got no French option
in the Language menu.

On the other hand letting Firefox download the language pack itself
*does* work.
