general.locale.* prefs

[Brian King]

What is the difference between 'general.useragent.locale' and
'general.useragent.contentlocale'. The former changes the UI locale, but
does it impact other things such as HTTP requests?

Also, what do 'intl.content.langcode' and 'intl.locale.matchOS' do exactly?

Check about:config, the former is the right thing, the latter is in some
old suite chrome url. Probably content packs, I bet not even SeaMonkey
has those anymore. It'd be nice if at one day someone cleaned up all.js :-/

Same here, langcode is cruft, matchOS, too. Sadly, matchOS is used on
quite a few linux distros, but it has unfortunatly buggy code in there.
Mozilla builds all have it off.

This is part of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335387 and
is a remnant of something unused on trunk nowadays.
