Firefox 10 does not talk my language. :( (SOLVED)

[melodie]

Hi,

I just updated and now I can't get it back to French. Here are the error messages I get:

$ firefox
ACR (Component): component init
[NoScript] [NoScript] Error initializing new window ReferenceError: getBrowser is not defined
()@chrome://noscript/content/noscriptOverlay.js:2445
([object Event])@chrome://noscript/content/noscriptOverlay.js:2389

and in the window which should have been the one from Firefox:

Erreur d'analyse XML : entité non définie
Emplacement : chrome://browser/content/browser.xul
Numéro de ligne 553, Colonne 7 :      <menuitem id="context-video-showstats"
------^

This is after I tried to activate the language plugin + restore the general.agentuser.locale from "en-US" to "fr-FR".

I also tried to send a bug report from the Tools > Addons > Languages menu, but no go either. I restored the use of Firefox by starting it with the "-safe-mode" option, and deactivate the language plugin.

Could it be fixed please ?

I installed my language (German) from here. Works like a charm ...

Only now I understand why this happens, I will fix it and do an update for all FF-languages later today, look out for firefox-<your language>-10.0-3 once it hits the repo.

An update has been sent to the repository. It may take a while for it to reach your mirror.

firefox-<your language>-10.0-3 is the update or no?

yes, 10.0-3 is the correct update, having the latest FF-language files, and it should have worked properly but does not because FF10 has a nice new security feature which prevents the automatic installation... 
I have just figured out an alternative automatic installation method but will have to rework the rpm-package, or maybe we dump these FF-language stuff
altogether, these FF updates drive me mad...
For now, open FF10 and go here, then click on <your language>.xpi file and allow the installation, restart FF10, done.

Thanks for the clarification

[pinoc]

ok, now it works, finally...

once the updates hit the repo they should get marked automatically, so after you installed the versions firefox-10.0-2 and your FF-language-pack firefox-<your language>10.0-4 then do this:
- restart Firefox,
- you should now be asked to allow the new language pack to be installed, click "I allow" and "Continue"
- restart Firefox and use the new language

If you do not follow the steps above you can still activate the new language pack, or disable any other language pack, by going selecting from the Firefox menubar -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Languages  and then enable/disable whatever language you want.

hope this is it now,

Now I can enable or disable the language pack 10.0
thx pinoc

I know

Hi,
Yesterday I installed the xpi you pointed to, enabled it in Firefox : worked great ! Today I got the new new update, and my browser still talks my language ! \o/ !

So I marked this thread as solved.

Thanks pinoc !

That was a brilliant solution using an .xpi addon for Firefox Languages I must say, thanks pinoc .
Although I speak English, I use English (GB) not the U.S. default. Thankyou again, as I got a weird Firefox update earlier today via Synaptic, which seemed to be not really an update in that didn't check compatibility with addons as it would usually.

Read this thread, installed the language addon '.xpi ' and all is good.

that FF update you mention didn't really update anything but was needed for updating the respective FF-devel package, which in turn was needed to properly build all FF-languages.
