r94029 has a potential fix for this.

When ACR detects that a major application upgrade has occurred, it will
*uninstall* all locales, and then restart the browser. This will mean
that Firefox can at least start with a working UI.

For some reason, merely disabling the locales does not have any effect.
I suspect this is because the addon manager is not yet watching for
addon disables when we need to disable it (when the broken UI comes up),
but uninstalling the addon will trigger the uninstall immediately.

I'm not sure it is desireable that we uninstall all locales in this
instance, but this behaviour must be better than seeing a broken UI.

I am also looking for some clarification on locale vs langpack in this
regard, as the AddonManager returns "locale" as the addon type,
regardless.
