[Bug 1322333] Re: Missing language in Accept-Language field of HTTP requests

[Hadrien]

** Description changed:

  I am running Ubuntu 14.04 (64 bits) in French, and I use Firefox in
  French too. My Firefox version is 29.0, tagged as "Mozilla Firefox for
  Ubuntu / canonical - 1.0"
  
  Some web sites change their default language according to the HTTP
  request field named "Accept-Language". I expect those web sites to offer
  me a web page in French, however I always get the English version when
  browsing with Firefox.
  
  After some investigation, I discovered that my version of Firefox does
  not send an expected value for "Accept-Language".
  
-  - Expected value: fr,fr-FR;q=0.8,en-US;q=0.5,en;q=0.3
-  - Value sent instead: en-US,en;q=0.5
+  - Expected value: fr,fr-FR;q=0.8,en-US;q=0.5,en;q=0.3
+  - Value sent instead: en-US,en;q=0.5
  
  Tests with other browsers:
-  - French Chromimum on French Ubuntu 14.04 French: the value is correct
-  - French Firefox on French Windows 7: the value is correct.
-  - French Chrome on French Windows 7: the value is correct.
+  - French Chromimum on French Ubuntu 14.04: the value is correct
+  - French Firefox on French Windows 7: the value is correct.
+  - French Chrome on French Windows 7: the value is correct.
  
  Maybe the problem is present with other languages.
  
  I don't know if it is related, but:
-  - in Firefox's about:config, the value of intl.accept_languages is: fr, fr-fr, en-us, en
-  - in a terminal, the "locale" command shows only fr_FR
+  - in Firefox's about:config, the value of intl.accept_languages is: fr, fr-fr, en-us, en
+  - in a terminal, the "locale" command shows only fr_FR
