[🐛 Bug]: Can't change firefox language

[lacell75]

What happened?

I can't start selenium/node-firefox with french language. The language still set to en-us. I start the session with these below parameters:

    browserName: 'firefox',
    acceptInsecureCerts: true,
    'moz:firefoxOptions': {
      prefs: {
        'dom.ipc.processCount': 16,
        'browser.download.folderList': 2,
        'browser.download.dir': global.downloadDirFirefox,
        'browser.download.useDownloadDir': true,
        'browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk':
          'application/vnd.ms-excel;application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet',
        'nglayout.initialpaint.delay': 0,
        'intl.accept_languages': 'fr,fr-FR',
        'intl.locale.requested': 'fr,fr-FR',
      },
      args: ['--width=1980', '--height=1080'],
    },

The parameters are correct in about:config but the browser language is in english instead of french
