View Full Version : [ubuntu] Disabling Firefox language packs?

My home laptop is quite old, and quite limited. I like running Firefox, which it can manage. I also
have a only moderately fast internet link, and capped bandwidth.

For all these reasons:

Is there anyway to configure Ubuntu/Firefox to NOT keep downloading, storing
and using the language packs other than my own language?

I appreciate (from a philosophical point of view) that my Firefox would be
immediately usable in Swedish or Lithuanian etc, but (to be frank) from
my POV it's just a waste of (various) resources.

I once manually purged out the packs, but on the next Firefox
update they all got downloaded and installed again :-(

Could you please paste the output from:

dpkg --get-selections | grep "chrome" > ~/Desktop/temp.txt

@Bugbear, my apologies! I should have asked for dpkg --get-selections | grep "firefox" and not chrome. The purpose is to get a list of firefox-related packages on your system. Sorry once again :(
