Title:
  firefox 43 Accept-Language header does not follow preferences

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  on a french firefox, possibly on all non english installs of firefox 43 on Ubuntu 15.10,
  the Accept-Language header is set to en_US regardless of the language preferences.
  It started with the upgrade to ff43, and the issue exists event when creating a new profile.

  How to Reproduce :
  Create a new profile on a firefox in french, go to any website, Accept-Language HTTP header does not contain "fr"
  (I could reproduce the bug in a virtualized 15.10)

  Workaround :
  about:preferences#content > Languages: choose
  Change order, click OK
  Languages: choose (again) Change order back, click OK
  Now the Accept-Language header is correctly set
