Steps to reproduce:

1. intl.accept_languages;en-US, en Status:default
2. cleared the values with the language preferences window Status: user set
3. Added the values again with the language preferences window, result:
intl.accept_languages;en-us,en Staus: user set
4. Reset the values in about:config, result as expected:
intl.accept_languages;en-US, en Status:default
5. Added 'de' with the language preferences window, result:
intl.accept_languages;de,en-us,en Staus:user set


Actual results:

The actual value for intl.accept_languages depends on what you do. Not good for browser fringerprinting issues.


Expected results:

I expect, that the value 'en-US' doesn't change. Either it is always 'en-US' or 'en-us', but not both.
