Description:
The language pack extension provided by firefox-i18n-zh-cn package is recognized by Firefox in about:addons, but the UI still shows English and language pack doesn't work. Several Chinese users have confirmed the bug.

If manually install zh-CN.xpi from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/18.0/linux-x86_64/xpi/ , everything works well as it should.


Additional info:
* package version: 18.0-1
* config and/or log files etc: nope


Steps to reproduce:
Install latest firefox & firefox-i18n-zh-cn 18.0-1 from extra repo, set locale to zh_CN.utf8 and run firefox.

Same problem with firefox-i18n-it package (version 18.0-1)

Well, another user found a solution: disable the extension and re-enable it. It works.

Strangely, i disabled the Automatic Save Folder extension that opened its page on every Firefox startup after the update to version 18, and after the restart of Firefox now i see it in the right language...

Edit: is it possible to add the suggestion of disable/enable the langpack extension to the Firefox page of ArchWiki?

Ah I see the bug has been addressed in -2 https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/firefox&id=7cc7c477a89e7b3c3c70ea1f848c1db092e6a0b0

I'm surprised that Mozilla aren't fixing this till 19.0. Oh well. Build from source FTW.
