Thanks for looking into it. De-duplicating and describing the actual bug
which seems to be 14.04 LTS -> 16.04 LTS upgrade issue in Firefox.
** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 1532537
Impossible to choose language on help.ubuntu.com
** Summary changed:
- Translated home page leads to non-translated sub-pages
+ Firefox has non-functional preferred language after upgrade 14.04 LTS ->
16.04 LTS
** Summary changed:
- Firefox has non-functional preferred language after upgrade 14.04 LTS ->
16.04 LTS
+ Firefox has non-functional preferred language after upgrade
** Description changed:
- All links at eg https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/ubuntu-help/index.html.fi
- point unfortunately to English versions of the pages, like
- https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/ubuntu-help/unity-introduction.html
+ It would seem something caused an incorrect language setting in Firefox,
+ potentially due to 14.04 LTS -> 16.04 LTS upgrade.
+
+ I noticed I'm getting redirected to English pages on help.ubuntu.com,
+ even though that hasn't happened before like eg within the last month.
+
+ When looking at it more in Firefox settings -> Content -> Languages, I
+ noticed the top-most item was "empty" (no language name) with [fi-fi] in
+ brackets. Beneath it was suomi [fi] and english options. When I removed
+ the "empty" language from the list, help.ubuntu.com started behaving
+ correctly again.
+
+ At this point I don't have better information but leaving the bug open
+ to be documented.
