basic installation is no problem, just follow the book (i did xulrunner
+ firefox).

but:
getting the german language up and running was not as easy as with the
old 3.6

as i want german as GLOBAL default, i don't want to have to install the
xpi for each user.

here my solution:

download the desired xpi from
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/${VERSION}/linux-i686/xpi/

for me it was de.xpi, and now

cp ${LANG}.xpi
/usr/X11/lib/firefox-${VERSION}/extensions/langpack-${LANG}@firefox.mozilla.org.xpi

the user now just has to activate the language as i is listed but
inactive in the languages.


if you don't need/want it global, each user has to install the xpi as it
is installed in the users .mozilla diretory by default


in about:config the following must be set:
general.useragent.locale = de-CH (or whatever fits your needs...)

very important to do all 3 steps:
- the xpi must be activated (or installed)
- the general.useragent.locale must be set
- restart firefox



maybe a paragraph about this would be useful for others...
