[Bug 668670] [NEW] User Agent language not correctly recognizable by websites

[Dominik George]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

In a Maverick vanilla installation with all updates applied, Mozilla
Firefox exposes a bug probably related to the User-Agent and/or
Accepted-Language headers sent to webservers when using the "de" locale.

The webservers or websites apparently aren't able to determine the
browser language correctly anymore. For example, Google renders in
something looking very similar to Thai, and the Adobe website talks
French.
