See if it is fixed by 59.0-2 https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/pack … 28e80595df

Yes, it works perfectly ;-)
By looking at the diff, the locale problem was for every language except English I believe...
Thanks and sorry for the long delay to answer and mark this post as solved.
]]>there is a workaround :
- type "about:config" in the url bar
- create a new key "intl.locale.requested", the value must be the language code (for example "fr" for french)
- restart firefox
Great, yes it works, thanks!
See, I was near as I tried a few hours ago to fiddle with "intl.regional_prefs.use_os_locales" key but without success. I ignored the key you suggest.
How can I mark this topic as solved? Or should I? Why was this key unnecessary with previous version of Firefox?

Thanks for welcoming me. I'm using Linux exclusively since 1998 (Slackware -> Mandrake -> Debian -> Ubuntu -> Arch) but I waited too long before trying Arch ;-) I'm using Arch since last September, great distro!
]]>the problem occurs only with the archlinux firefox package, the fr-xpi is loaded but the menus are still in english,
I don't know if other linux distros are affected by this problem
]]>Now, Firefox 59.0-1 doesn't use french locale despite firefox-i18n-fr installed and activated.
I never had such a problem before, all my locale updates for Firefox always went smooth. Should I suspect that Firefox 59.0-1 package may come from a nightly build instead of the current version? I know that nightly builds can't use locales. But, I always used main Firefox version with the french locale as available in Arch extra repository.
Thanks for the time involved to find a solution...
