Can you check if you have any error message in Console? (CTRL+SHIFT+K). Do you have the langpack in ~/.mozilla/extensions/{ID}/ subdir?

and on the firefox console have no errors

--- Additional comment from Martin Stransky on 2015-05-13 15:13:10 EDT ---

That's really strange. The langpack is correctly installed and recognized by Firefox but not used...

@martin: another user reports the same problem, with the Spanish language: https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=8664

I just tested this issue on a RHEL-7 system. Changed my language to Japanese. FF 38 failed to display in Japanese.

I then downgraded FF to 31 and the problem was gone. The display was correctly in Japanese.

Updated FF to 38 again and the issue came back.

It is a redhat problem while you can f38 download form mozilla, extract and run it. You see a german Firefox.

--- Additional comment from Martin Stransky on 2015-05-14 04:04:41 EDT ---

Yes, that's a bug in RH package. It's caused by missing mozilla-xremote-client which has been removed.

But I'm still confused by a fact that the langpack is not picked up even when it's listed as extension.

--- Additional comment from Martin Stransky on 2015-05-14 04:10:26 EDT ---

Yes, I can reproduce it now. There are two bugs actually. 

One is missing mozilla-xremote-client - that causes that new langpacks are not installed. It affects fresh installations and system language changes.

Second bug is that already installed and enabled langpacks is not picked up by Firefox - still investigating this one.

--- Additional comment from Matthias31 on 2015-05-14 04:36:26 EDT ---

here  you see the installed langpacks in  usr/lib64/firefox/langpacks, maybe there are here an Error to

--- Additional comment from Martin Stransky on 2015-05-14 07:05:43 EDT ---

Second part of this bug is a wrong value in general.useragent.locale (you can see that in about:config). A workaround is to change it by hand to your locale - "de" in your case.

--- Additional comment from Martin Stransky on 2015-05-14 08:15:28 EDT ---

Actually all preferences set by Red Hat are gone. It's because the pref file is not packages. So there isn't a default homepage, language prefs and so on.

A possible solution was posted in CentOS bug #8664:
