The binhost doesn't provide locale pack variants for any packages,
firefox or otherwise. If nothing else, this would be tremendous bloat.

The last time this came up where I saw it -- a couple weeks ago,
2025-08-05 -- I had suggested to the firefox package maintainer that it
might make sense to do like libreoffice, have no L10N flags at all but
simply depend on "www-clients/firefox-l10n" so that people could modify
their L10N without rebuilding the source code. The maintainer agreed it
initially sounds like a good idea, but AFAIK hasn't had time to work on
exploring it yet.
