Firefox Sync corrupts Google language

[peterzay]

Binary package hint: firefox

As the attached screenshot clearly shows, the language of www.google.ca is corrupted. Clicking on English solves the problem for the session, but the setting is not sticky.

raamee,

When you click Modify, what value should you enter?

[raamee (thiyadaram)]

No, just double click that and press OK. No need to enter any values. It will just set automatically.

I have recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal on this test machine.

When I double click, I get the attached request for input. I have not tried this on Ubuntu 10.10 (only 1 test machine).

Note, however, that the sync bug appears to be resolved in Ubuntu 11.04 and Firefox 4. The en-US locale is properly synced from the main machine to the test machine.
