[Mozilla Enterprise] First start Firefox 60.0.2 ESR in wrong language

[Jason Jackson]

If we don’t need language packs, but we do need dictionaries, should we also be doing it this way?  Can dictionaries still be added with CCK2?

I always found it curious that dictionaries install like an extension, but in Add-ons Manager they don’t go in extensions.

Based on that bug and discussions with the developers, the best way to bundle language packs with Firefox is to put them in the distribution/extensions directory. You would need to name them the same as their internal id.

The Extensions policy is designed for loading WebExtensions, not language packs.

time, I'l be adding a policy to set the language that will hopefully solve
this.

Hello,

the following problem has surfaced when piloting the new major version
Firefox 60.0.2 ESR.
The Firefox should be configured via GPO. In this context, the extensions
like LanguagePacks and dictionaries are installed via an entry in the
"Extensions / extensions to install" GPO. Furthermore, Firefox is
additionally configured via mozilla.cfg, as this configuration is not
possible via GPO
lockPref ("browser.newtabpage.enabled", false);
defaultPref ("intl.locale.requested", "de");
The New Tab Page is switched off and depending on the user setting, the
language is preset.
So far so good. If there is no profile or an old version 52.x.x, Firefox
starts for the first time in English.
Only with a new start the Firefox appears in this case in German language
indicated.
Can someone tell me if there are possibilities that even the first start
in the set language succeed?



Kind regards
