Confirming the issue with Firefox .deb 120.0a1 (2023-10-01) on Lubuntu 20.04 LXQt. The `distributionID` is not displayed in about:support or about > Firefox window. The Firefox .deb build is not localized after opening a profile from a tar.bz2 firefox with a Firefox .deb package. I followed the next steps: Preconditions: have the system set to FR language and region 1. Download and extract the latest Firefox nightly .tar.bz2 and open it with a new profile. 2. Install Firefox.deb l10n FR (`sudo apt-get install firefox-nightly-l10n-fr`) 3. Open Firefox .deb (`/usr/bin/firefox-nightly -p`) using the profile created at step 1. AR: - Firefox is not localized (language present in about:addons) - distribution is missing from about:support and About Firefox window. The `distributionID` missing can be seen on Ubuntu 22.1 and Ubuntu 22.04 as well for an en-US .deb build. S3 because it seems that in a clean environment (default user profiles) the firefox.deb will create a new profile after running if the profile manager is not used. For example: If Firefox Nightly tar.bz2 is opened there will be two profiles (`default-nightly` and `default`). Installing and opening firefox.deb without the profile manager will create a new profile (`default-nightly-1`) Using a new profile fixes the issue. If more information is needed please let me know, Thank you!
