Hi,

I just noticed that localization was not available anymore when using
www/librewolf. I'm pretty sure it was available when the port was
introduced but I may be confusing with Librewolf on Linux.

Following [1] and [2], I checked that with-l10n-base what set and also
tried compiling with "mk_add_options MOZ_REQUIRE_SIGNING=" in
files/mozconfig-openbsd. But it doesn't seem to solve the problem.

Running debug-librewolf-153.0pl3 on OpenBSD 8.0-beta, nothing is
displayed in the console when trying to set a different Brower language
(about:preferences#languages). Not error is raised.

I tried the same Librewolf version on FreeBSD 15.1 and the error is also
there. Not sure what this means.

I have not found external XPI files such as the ones available with
firefox-i18n. From what I understood, it seems the international files
should be made available at compilation by Librewolf.

If you have any ideas or hints to solve this, I can try them and report
:)

Thanks,
Joel C.
