Bug Description

I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 dev with firefox 18.0~b5+build1-0ubuntu1 and firefox-locale-de 18.0~b5+build1-0ubuntu1. On deleting (or renaming) the old profile and creating a new one Firefox uses still the english language pack. A workaround to solve this is to disable and enable the german language pack and to restart Firefox.

Probably in the deleted profile file there was something pointing to the language settings.

The profile was deleted and Firefox was closed. There can't point anything to something else.

Just to avoid confusion: It seems you have thought that only my old profile was affected by this bug. But all new generated profiles do so. Closing Firefox, delete ~/.mozilla and starting Firefox (so that a new profile is created) will cause this problem again.

I've seen this at least once with Nightly, and Seb has it with the last 18.0 beta too

As you've probably noticed from all of the linked branches, this is fixed everywhere now (the fix will be in the Firefox 18 release build and the first Firefox 19 beta as well).

Sorry we didn't respond to this sooner. It got overlooked due to the Christmas break, but thanks a lot for reporting it. We probably would have released Firefox 18 with this bug if you hadn't
