User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.70 Safari/533.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3

In regional settings, i have selected French as the language format.  When I attempt to get the client language in javascript (navigator.language) it returns en-US instead of fr-FR.

This seems to work fine on Linux.  Only seeing the issue on Windows.  (also works in IE 8.0

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Change the language in Regional Settings (ex: French)
2.Launch firefox
3.Access the navigator.language variable via javascript
Actual Results:  
navigator.language return en-US

Expected Results:  
should have returned fr-FR

Java is correctly seeing the language as French however the browser is not which is causing issues in our web application.
