Firefox 33 - German Language Pack 32 (disabled)

This is now the fifth update, where the language file is disabled. And my question is why?

value = isset($language_german['preferences']) ? $language_german['preferences'] : $language_english['preferences'];

Result: value => 'Einstellungen' (German) value => 'Preferences' (English/Fallback)


The code can be naturally adapted to the particular programming language better. Is only a simple example.

Do you have to seriously disable the complete language pack, just because a few are little or no changes occurred?

I can understand that the old pack does not fit. But probably only 5% it does not fit.

In addition, there is also a Firefox beta. It's not that I do not understand English. But there are also people who can not and even annoying me this back and forth. And with a simple word like settings.

Hence the question: Why must this be so? For I do not understand it.

I'm sorry, I think I was too fast.

I'm probably assumed that you needed these updates: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-security/ppa/ubuntu

Source is removed, reinstalled Firefox (33 -> 32.0.3), works.

A Language pack can only be installed for the matching Firefox version, so you need Firefox 33 language packs for the Firefox 33 beta version. A Firefox 32 language pack only works with Firefox 32 releases.

Did you install the beta deliberately or were you previously using a release version?

You can find the full version of the current Firefox 32.0.3 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
