Myeah, thunderbird-i18n-fr installs the langpack into
/usr/local/lib/thunderbird-${VERSION}/extensions, while thunderbird is
installed under /usr/local/lib/thunderbird/, so of course that cant fly.
I dunno where that 'Catalan' langpack is (shipped by default ?
strange..) but after doing the following:
mkdir /usr/local/lib/thunderbird/distribution/extensions
cp
/usr/local/lib/thunderbird-78.3.*/extensions/langpack...@thunderbird.mozilla.org.xpi
/usr/local/lib/thunderbird/distribution/extensions/
French langpack was available too in the preferences/language drop-list, and
after enabling it and restarting thunderbird, the menus were properly
localised.
I'll fix that in -current, then will recheck things work for firefox-esr
too, and then i'll fix what's broken in 6.8-stable...
Thanks for reporting it !
