Description of problem: Firefox 1.5.0.5 uses a add-on based locale support. However, /usr/bin/firefox still expects the locale file to be located in the old filesystem layout, and is unable to locate any locale beside en_US. Therefore, Firefox will start up in en_US locale regardless of the system locale settings. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.5.0.5-0.el4.1 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set e.g. LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 2. Run /usr/bin/firefox 3. Actual results: Firefox starts in the US English locale, regardless of $LANG. Expected results: Firefox should start in the locale specified by $LANG, as long as there is an Firefox langauge add-on present. Additional info: This problem can be easily fixed by updating /usr/bin/firefox, line 142 from: [ -f $MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME/chrome/$MOZLOCALE.jar ] && MOZARGS="-UILocale $MOZLOCALE" to: [ -f $MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME/extensions/langpack-${MOZLOCALE}@firefox.mozilla.org/ chrome/$MOZLOCALE.jar ] && MOZARGS="-UILocale $MOZLOCALE"
