525811 - Multi-locale build does not switch between locales

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Armen [:armenzg]]

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux armv6l; it; rv; 1.9.2b2pre) Gecko/20091101 Firefox/3.6b2pre Fennec/1.0b5) (typed manually)

1 - Choose on your device any language (I tried with Spanish and French)
2 - Open fennec from the command line (X-Term)
3 - Go to settings and change to any other language (I switched to Italian and Spanish)
4 - Press the restart button that shows at the top
5 - The browser restarts but it stays with the same language that the device had (NOTE that what I typed on the first line actually changed to 'it' even though it kept on showing everything on French)

Blocking beta5?

How I installed it:
- downloaded xulrunner and fennec deb to desktop
- scped to device to root@IP
- opened x-term and typed:
  - dpkg -i xulrunner...deb
  - dpkg -i fennec...deb

Yeah, that's because of the current behavior of the matchOS pref. I have a working patch for that : see bug 519468

Shouldn't your bug be blocking beta 5?

Adding keywords, bugdependency, so we can track this.
