Upgrading to Firefox snap release 144.0-2 the UI went from french to
english. However settings are still configured for french.

All XPI langpack are present in the snap package

Running with jsconsole shows (it reproduces on any locale that is enabled):

This was also reported upstream as
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/2125183

Reproduced at least on Ubuntu 24.04.3. Weirdly on my 25.10 laptop, after
upgrading the Snap it briefly reproduced the issue and then ... It went
away.

Ok so on my laptop's case, the langpack was somehow still in the
profile's `extensions`. Removing it I can reproduce, and trying to set
French again fails

Workaround: `about:addons`, click on the wheel on the right of "manage
your extensions" and select `Install Addon from file`, then browse to
`//snap/firefox/currrent/usr/lib/firefox/distribution/extensions/` and
find the right locale folder to select the right XPI file.

It fixes by making sure the langpack is in the profile, however there is still 
a bug as I can see:

Downloading the `firefox_144.0-2.snap` from this try and installing
with: `sudo snap install --dangerous ./firefox_144.0-2_amd64.snap`, and
also I had to remove `extensions.installedDistroAddon.langpack-
[email protected]` pref to make sure it properly tried to reinstall
the addon.

After that it is working again.

Please dont use this build for anything else than testing, it would
break snap as you would not get anymore updates. If you installed it
then you should `sudo snap refresh --amend firefox` to revert to the
proper snap package. It should not regress the langpack.
