[opensuse-factory] Firefox - I think I have found a bug regarding locales/languages
Hi everyone! Last week I formatted my SSD, I installed openSUSE Leap 15.2 (actually, a development image of Linux Kamarada 15.2 Beta [1]) and I realized Firefox was behaving differently than I remembered regarding locales/languages on 15.1. TLDR: Firefox is not retrieving the current user's language preferences on GNOME. Try the following steps (I suggest using the openSUSE Leap 15.2 GNOME live image [2]): 1. (not needed if you are running the live image) Make sure the MozillaFirefox-translations-common package is installed 2. (not needed if you are running the live image) Create a new user 3. (not needed if you are running the live image) Log in to this user 4. Change the GNOME language to another one different from English - e.g. Português Brasil (log out and log in to apply the language change) 5. Start Firefox On openSUSE Leap 15.2, Firefox starts in English. Also, if I open Firefox and set its interface language to Portuguese (Brazil), it downloads the language pack. Shouldn't it use the one present on the MozillaFirefox-translations-common package? The openSUSE Leap 15.2 GNOME live image comes with Firefox 78.0.2esr. But if you try the Linux Kamarada 15.2 Beta live image from the website [3] which is by now with Firefox 68.9.0esr (it's older than the one I used to format my SSD), Firefox presents the expected behavior: it starts in the current user's language preferences on GNOME. Maybe something changed from 68.9.0esr to 78.0.2esr. Please someone confirm if that is really a bug. If so, I can open a bug report on Bugzilla. Thanks!

Thanks, Frank! I believe it is related. I added a comment with my observation there. I was going to update the Linux Kamarada live image on the website, but I think I'm going to wait a few days. It may be useful, because it contains the Firefox version which was working correctly.
