Bug Description

On Ubuntu LTS 18.04, after the recent Firefox update to version 60.0+build2, localization is deactivated presenting the browser only in english. In the languages section all language packs are deactivated citing incompatibilities with the present version.

Performing a language support check in Ubuntu Settings do not resolve this issue.

Ubuntu LTS 18.04 amd64
firefox 60.0+build2
Browser only shows in english; localization is deactivated due to incomptibilities with the installed language packs.
Browser should be presented in my locale language (spanish).

Problem is, that some systems with ubuntu-defaults-it , ubuntu-defaults-zh-cn and ubuntu-defaults-baltix packages installed doesn't have line
intl.locale.requested=""
in /usr/lib/firefox/distribution/distribution.ini

See LP bug #1771272 and bug #1755918 for more info.
