Title:
  Firefox sending header "Accept-Language:
  chrome://global/locale/intl.properties"

Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser:
  Confirmed
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “firefox” source package in Natty:
  Fix Released
Status in “firefox” source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  Upgraded from Lucid to Maverick a bit ago, and now a recent update has
  caused Firefox to start sending the wrong Accept-Language header.
  Couldn't find an existing bug report, but I see it was discussed on
  the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1536811

  *** TEST CASE FOR SRU ***

  As the original bug isn't easily reproducible, it isn't possible to
  verify with 100% confidence that the update fixes the actual bug.
  However, we can test with 100% confidence the bug which we *think* is
  causing this bug here.

  To prepare for this:

  1) Install the extension-developer addon from 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/extension-developer/
  2) Open about:config, and ensure that "intl.accept_languages" does not have a 
user value (it will have "default" in the status column and be set to a list of 
language codes, such as "en-gb, en").

  To test:
  1) Open a JS shell (Tools -> Extension Developer -> Javascript Shell).
  2) In the shell, click on the "enumerateWindows()" link
  3) In the list of windows, click on "chrome://browser/content/browser.xul". 
This puts us in main window context
  4) Enter the following:

  
string=Cc["@mozilla.org/supports-string;1"].createInstance(Ci.nsISupportsString);
  string.data="chrome://global/locale/intl.properties";
  gPrefService.setComplexValue("intl.accept_languages", Ci.nsISupportsString, 
string);

  5) Check "intl.accept_languages" again in about:config

  Expected result:
  - With Firefox 4.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.11.04.1, intl.accept_languages 
will contain the value "chrome://global/locale/intl.properties", and the status 
column will say "user set"
  - With Firefox 4.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.11.04.2, intl.accept_languages 
should remain unchanged, and still display the default setting for your locale
