./mach run \
  --temp-profile \
  --setpref "extensions.getAddons.langpacks.url=https://mock-amo-language-tools.glitch.me/?app=firefox&type=language&appversion=%VERSION%" \
  --setpref "intl.multilingual.enabled=true" \
  --setpref "intl.multilingual.downloadEnabled=true" \
  --setpref "intl.multilingual.liveReload=true" \
  --setpref "intl.multilingual.liveReloadBidirectional=true" \
  -- \
  --new-tab about:preferences

Steps to reproduce:

• Open Firefox in the "en-US" locale and go to about:preferences.
• Switch to "es-ES"
• Open the main Firefox menu

Expected behavior:

• The panel should be translated to "es-ES".

Actual behavior:

• The menu is still in "en-US" with "About Nightly", "Preferences", ... etc.

Most of the menus correctly rebuilt probably from the DOM change
observer, but the main menu did not. This fixes the rebuilding of the
main Firefox menu so that it will change the locale on live language
switching.

The LTR to RTL menu direction still needs fixing. See Bug 1755796.
