I went to about:config. intl.accept_language is not overridden and is
correctly set to: "fr, fr-fr, en-us, en"

If I override the option with the same string and a whitespace at the
end, the Accept-Language HTTP field is correct.

If I reset the option back to "fr, fr-fr, en-us, en", the correct
Accept-Language is still sent to the server. But if I restart Firefox
the bug is back.

Title:
  firefox 43 Accept-Language header does not follow preferences

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  on a french firefox, possibly on all non english installs of firefox 43 on 
Ubuntu 15.10,
  the Accept-Language header is set to en_US regardless of the language 
preferences.
  It started with the upgrade to ff43, and the issue exists event when creating 
a new profile.

  How to Reproduce :
  Create a new profile on a firefox in french, go to any website, 
Accept-Language HTTP header does not contain "fr"
  (I could reproduce the bug in a virtualized 15.10)

  Workaround :
  about:preferences#content > Languages: choose
  Change order, click OK
  Languages: choose (again) Change order back, click OK
  Now the Accept-Language header is correctly set
