[Ubuntu 11.04] Mozilla Firefox 4.0.1 can't be translated

[Joe le Kiffeur]

Binary package hint: firefox

Hi!

French translation of Mozilla 4.0.1 is not updated because language update failed. It seems servers are unavalable.

Please remove quickly this bug, because users doesn't like to hack their browser.

First of all, do not confirm your own bugs. Also, you should only assign yourself to a bug if you're actually working on fixing it.

Translations are provided by our language packs, which are up-to-date and work correctly. If you're using upstream provided xpi's for translations, then it's not a bug in our Firefox package if you can't update them properly.

In any case, this isn't a firefox bug.

I can't acces to any French language pack for Firefox support.
