With firefox 8.0.0, the first startup would show a screen similar to
the "checking for plugins compatibility", that people were used to.

If you just clicked ok, without actually reading it, any language pack
in use would be disabled, forcing it to the us version of English.

With the 8.0.1, that screen no longer shows up, and the language packs
stay enabled, and languages are now shown separately on the tools/add ons
page.

So, yes, the user is prompted, but the way they are prompted makes it
very likely they will unintentionally disable their language, with the
8.0.0 version of firefox.
