After some investigations, I see that the value of navigator.language is the value of general.useragent.locale preference. Put ja to general.useragent.locale preference works fine. It would be great if the default value of general.useragent.locale is pulled from the language pack currently using. Please consider to put a following line to /etc/iceweasel/pref/iceweasel.js. pref(general.useragent.locale, chrome://global/locale/intl.properties); Note: chrome://global/locale/intl.properties is a special value, the value will be pulled from the language pack. Actually, removing the preference from /usr/lib/iceweasel/defaults/preferences/firefox.js should be enough, as general.useragent.locale is correctly defined in /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/greprefs/all.js.

Thanks for your quick reply. I removed the line 'pref(general.useragent.locale, en-US);' from /usr/share/iceweasel/defaults/preferences/firefox.js but general.useragent.locale is still en-US. Afterward, I noticed /usr/share/iceweasel/defaults/preferences/firefox-l10n.js also contains the line 'pref(general.useragent.locale, en-US);', removing that line works fine.
