ok, thanks for clarify this.
for development and testing i simply set now the LANG environment
variable in my ant exec task before starting FF (and no longer us
-UILocale ...).
works for me.

once you run something like firefox -UILocale en-US or do any locale
switcher you are on your own. Stock ubuntu firefox properly honours your
LANG environment.

same thing here, default locale is en_US (should be so, but for testing need
firefox de-DE)
- installed Applications/System/Supported Language: English and German (default
English)
- firefox about:config general.useragent.locale="de-DE"
- UA: "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de-DE; rv:1.9.0.3)
Same thing here. My locale is set to "es_ES.UTF-8" and Firefox 3 uses
that locale no matter what value is assigned to the
"general.useragent.locale" setting.
However I can launch it in English with either of these commands:
$ firefox -UILocale en-US
$ LANG=en_US.UTF-8 firefox

A simpler way to test this, from a localized Ubuntu run Firefox 3 and
then enter about:config in the address bar.
Then change:
general.useragent.locale
To "en-US"
Restart Firefox. It should show up in English, but it doesn't. Instead
the localized setting is kept.
