Details

Preferences should support changing the language for the primary UI and if it is not possible to update the current windows, Firefox should prompt or suggest a restart.

Bug 1344786 comment #3 has a use case not supported in webextensions.  Preferences (talking about UI, not about:config) do not support changing the locale.  Additionally, when the pref is changed via about:config, the UI in the current window does not refresh.
Bug 377881 is about supporting the switch of the UI language directly in the Fx UI, not only via about:config. About the possibility to let to WebExtensions to do it, I didn't find a related bug. I had planned to open a bug request for it, I will do it later.
bug 1425941 has traction now, resolving as DUPE.
