The startup method is called early in startup, before chrome for non-
restartless add-ons is registered. That is the problem here.

There are really only two solutions. One is to move the startup call to
later in startup, the other is to have JSONovich fixed so it doesn't
initialize nsHttpHandler until later in startup. The former has the
potential to break existing add-ons as well as potentially make it
harder to do certain tasks so I'd tend to side with just notifying the
JSONovich author and leaving this as-is.

I would note that while startup() is called early it is still much later
than non-restartless add-ons used to be able to be called, they could
hit exactly the same problem if they weren't careful about delaying
things they did to later in startup.

Title:
  Accept-Language header contains incorrect value

Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser:
  Invalid
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1) Start Firefox
  2) In Edit -> Preferences - check the lanugage settings are "en-gb" and "en".
  3) Start Firebug.
  4) Access www.google.co.uk
  5) Check the "Net" tab in firebug.
  6) Expand the first (or any line).
  7) Scroll to the "Request Headers".
  8) Observe "Accept-language" contains "en-us,en;q=0.5".
