Bug#730297: iceweasel forms defaults to French (France) when my defaults are English (United States)

Package: iceweasel
Version: 24.1.0esr-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

For several releases after version 17.0 Iceweasel upon launch and accessing comment forms spell checking defaults to the top most choice on the stack of Languages -> French (France). I select English (United States) which works for the session, but upon restart reverts to the aforementioned behavior.

It's either a spell-checking hook into Iceweasel or something specific to Iceweasel's preferences not reading locally configured preferences.

Perhaps the builder of the package defaults it to French?

Sincerely,

Marc J. Driftmeyer
