As already stated in bug 364454, running
touch /usr/lib/firefox/extensions/langpack-*
is much faster than reinstalling and does the trick, too.

Both overkill and not a solution, because both reinstalling and the
above command only work on user accounts with an already existing
.mozilla directory. Newly created users will still have an english
firefox.
Since firefox' locales are not included in the firefox package itself
(upstream packages are also separate), new uploads of the debian
packages are needed for any new firefox version (any firefox upload? --
has anybody checked?).
This sucks, because it requires timely action by the maintainer. It
would really be nicer if firefox itself would cope better with this
situation. But this probably won't happen in time for etch.
Luk, could you please upload a new version?
Thanks,
Nis
