Details

Example:

  1. Install en-US build, check the dialog displayed when using File->Open (it will be displayed in English, independently from the OS language).
  2. In Settings, install a new language (French) and switch to it, restarting the browser as prompted.
  3. Try again File->Open, the dialog is still in English, while it should be in French at this point.

I'm not sure if this happens because language packs don't have the necessary strings or something else.

Summary: System dialogs use language of the build, instead of current browser language → System dialogs use language of the build instead of current browser language

Does this bug report mean that you were able to reproduce bug 1628438?

Flags: needinfo?(francesco.lodolo)

No, this is only about the File dialog (not sure if there are other system dialogs we're using, maybe the non webby printer?), and it should be easy to reproduce.

As far as I can tell, bug 1628438 was connected to something specific in the user's profile.

Thanks for clarifying!
