[Tom Doan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/10.0.648.127 Safari/534.16
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.14) Gecko/20110218 Firefox/3.6.14 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Starting with Firefox 3.6.14 which I just upgraded to, I now get this error every time I load Firefox using the -UILocale (I do this often to test my extension, and it only stopped working after the upgrade):

Error: Warning: unrecognized command line flag -UILocale
Source File: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsBrowserContentHandler.js
Line: 742

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create or install an extension with a non-US locale
2. Start Firefox with the -UILocale parameter, e.g.: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -UILocale vi-VN
Actual Results:  
Firefox starts up, but it still uses the en-US profile and gives the following error in the JavaScript console:

Error: Warning: unrecognized command line flag -UILocale
Source File: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsBrowserContentHandler.js
Line: 742

Expected Results:  
It should start up in the specified profile (vi-VN in my case), showing my extension in the specified language (Vietnamese in my case).

I just upgraded to v3.6.15 and now it works again. Strange, it seems it only stopped working while waiting for a restart to finalize (or initialize) the upgrade to v3.6.15.
