Details

Running Firefox in safe mode permanently resets the intl.local.matchOS to true (the default) even if it was set to false. It does so by removing the line from prefs.js. So, if you are running a localized version of Firefox, in a language that is not the default for the OS (or is not supported by it) and run once with -safe-mode, for example to report a bug, the next time Firefox will try to match the OS version, even if the language pack is ok and the general.useragent.locale is still set to the right value.
