As we've gotten more familiar with MSIX packages, a few choices made early don't seem optimal. In particular, I tried to put firefox.exe
into c:/Program Files/...
and didn't quite succeed. Let's fix a few of these things now.

This allows Firefox to read its own binary from the VFS. With luck,
this will help us launch Firefox using
Invoke-CommandInDesktopPackage
, which can now use -Command "c:/Program Files .../firefox-MSIX/firefox.exe"
. (Bare firefox.exe
does not work across all versions of Windows, AFAICT.)
While in the neighbourhood, order en-US
first among languages (so
that it is the default language) and use the application name "App",
which while not standard is very common.

This isn't strictly necessary, but 'App' is what most Apps seem to use, so we may as well too.
Also ensures 'en-US' is the first listed language, to make it the default.
