Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fi-FI; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050226 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fi-FI; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050226 Firefox/1.0.1

In system where Firefox and Mandrake Linux are both in Finnish
addons.mozilla.org likes to install all extensions in Czech or in German. Sure
Finns are skilled with languages, but I rather like English.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Firefox
2.Open Työkalut (Tools), Laajennukset (Extensions) and Hae lisää laajennuksia
(Get more extensions).
3.Install example Forecastfox

Actual Results:  
I had Forecastfox with GUI in German.

Expected Results:  
If localized extension does not found install English version instead.
see http://forecastfox.mozdev.org/installation.html, you have to choose the
english build.

I don't know if the bug is in the extension itself or Firefox
is it related to bug 279952?
looks like a dupe..
