Could you provide the two add-ons you used in order to attempt to reproduce? (attach to this bug report)

Here you are.

https://addons.mozilla.org/ja/firefox/addon/language-pack-install-helpe/

https://addons.mozilla.org/ja/firefox/addon/locale-switcher/


and it seems to "addon options page" was cached at install.
(so, no update by locale change?)

Because, "addon options page" do not reflect "modification of  addon description of AMO" after addon installed.
and no network access was captured when open "addon optoins page".
I tried clear file cache and restart firefox, but no effect to this symptoms.

Thanks. 

Well, I'm seeing roughly the same issues as shown in the screenshot (apart from the date, which is displayed as expected in English): description and link to add-on page in Japanese with En-Us lang pack enabled.

Unless there's something wrong with your add-on, I don't know what to think of this.

Does this happen with other add-ons or locales?

Hi.

It happens all of my add-ons.
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/user/6110569/
All of my add-ons was developed by Add-on Builder.

and I tried other locale(Italian) then same symptoms was happened.

I digged around "toolkit\mozapps\extensions".
I found a code "AddonRepository.jsm: const FILE_DATABASE  = "addons.sqlite";"

Then,  I opened "addons.sqlite" by using "SQLite Manager".
There is Japanese descriptions stored into it.

I believe this is a reason why addon options page displayed wrong locale.

I believe this is a other bug.

Bug 788910 - Date.toLocaleString() do not handle locale properly.
