In config/chroot_local-includes/usr/share/tails/tor-browser-prefs.js, three prefs are not honored:

  • extensions.torbutton.show_slider_notification: not a problem, it’s only used when about:tor is loaded anyway
  • extensions.torbutton.prompted_language: I did not manage to fix that yet => Bug #15706
  • extensions.torbutton.launch_warning => Bug #15707

config/chroot_local-includes/usr/share/tails/chroot-browsers/common/prefs.js and config/chroot_local-includes/usr/share/tails/chroot-browsers/unsafe-browser/prefs.js are honored just right.

Remains to be tested:

  • localized spellchecker.dictionary (but keep Feature #5962 in mind)
  • localized browser.startup.homepage in Tor Browser
  • localized browser.startup.homepage in Unsafe Browser

Started an ISO built from the Feature #15023 topic branch, select French in the Greeter =>

  • On a page that states it’s in English (one of our blueprints): English dictionary is selected
  • On a page that does not state what language it’s in: French dictionary is selected
