I got so distracted by the unexpected upgrade-- apparently in Firefox's lexicon, "download" and "install" are synonymous-- that I forgot I had another Firefox question.

Anyone know when FF started reporting your system language rather than the browser language? Obviously this will only show up if your system's first-choice language isn't supported by the browser; otherwise they'd be the same. It doesn't come through in the UA string like in Safari, but you see it if you ask for window.navigator.language.

Somewhere along the line they added a Language section in the prefs. In the Mac version it's in the Content tab along with related things like fonts. If you don't change it, it matches your system settings except that it cuts out at five. (I've got the OS listing about fifteen ;)) It was there in 13-- I barely had time to check before FF whapped me with the update-- but I don't know when it first showed up.

Hm. Wonder if this means that if I visit my site in Firefox, Piwik will think I'm Canadian? Previously it only did this when I used Safari.
