[Bug 867753] [NEW] Accept-Language header contains incorrect value

 

Public bug reported:

Both my OS and Firefox preferences has en-GB and en as the language,
however, it's sending "en-US, en" in the "accept-language" request
header. This was verified using Bugzilla after finding the problem.
Dates on some sites are a particular problem given that for many dates
there is no way to tell the difference between en-GB and en-US, you just
read the date wrong.
