[firefox 66] html buttons in forms are not translated

Hello,

I notice a bug in firefox 66 (archlinux package ) :

- I configured firefox to use french, but since firefox 66 I notice that in html forms the standard buttons ("submit", "browse") are not translated to french,

an example with this simple test html source code :

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="fr">

<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>test</title>
</head>

<body>

<form method='POST'>
        <label>Bug language</label>
        Select a file: <input type="file" name="myFile">
        <input type="submit" />
</form>

</body>

</html>

configure your firefox to use french, then open the test html file, you will notice that submit button and browse button don't have the french name,

if you open the same html file with chromium or opera then you will notice these buttons have a french name (if the local of your system is set to french),
the bug doesn't occur with the previous version of firefox (65)

If I use the official binary of firefox then no problems :
https://www.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/new/

so it's probably a packaging bug for the archlinux version

Re: [firefox 66] html buttons in forms are not translated

the bug is triggered each time firefox is updated by a new archlinux package, it seems that firefox loses the language setting each time after an update,

a workaround is to go to the firefox options panel and select french for both language options in firefox, and restart firefox
