That's an unacceptable privacy leak from Mozilla's point of view. See
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55366 where we explicitly
switched from that to basing navigator.language on the Accept header.
More importantly, I would say, the browser’s UI language should normally
be completely irrelevant to page design and implementation.
I might be using an English-language browser because there is no better
option (localizations are lousy). This does not mean that when viewing a
page in, say, German, I would want the page to talk to me in English, to
use English-language month names in date controls and info, etc.
