<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Arial;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">We're running ESR 60 (Mozilla build) on Linux (CentOS 7)<br>
<br>
I did find the following:<br>

<a href="https://access.redhat.com/discussions/3509781#comment-1322671" target="_blank">https://access.redhat.com/discussions/3509781#comment-1322671</a><br>
<br>
which is about the RedHat/CentOS rebuild of ESR 60 copying in langpacks - however, this build does bundle a number of langpacks as part of the installed package
<br>
<br>
However, we are not using the RedHat/CentOS package - and don't have the langpacks installed anywhere, however, users are getting langpacks in their Firefox profiles ...<br>
<br>
The workaround suggested in the above link is to set 'extensions.installDistroAddons' to 'false' - which appears to fix the problem for us<br>
<br>
I'll do some some more poking about to see if I can find out 'how' these langpacks are being installed in user profile directories<br>

<div>We don't download language package in Firefox 60. We do in 68 if a user selects a new language.</div>

</div>
<div>If a language pack is already installed via some mechanism, we might grab an update for that language pack and put it in the profile.<br>

<div>Can you provide more details on what you are seeing?</div>

Most of our users don't have access to the Internet, but for users that do, we've noticed that ESR 60 appears to download a set of langpacks to their Firefox profile - the total size of all these langpacks is 'only' about 65Mb, but it does eat into the rather
meagre home directory quota we have ...<br>
<br>
Is there any way to turn off these downloads - and use (single copies of) centrally installed langpacks instead ?<br>
<br>
I'm not aware of this happening with ESR 52 (and earlier)<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
