I want to apologize for leaving out this piece of information. If you're testing in natty-proposed everything is fine. If you're testing from the Ubuntu Mozilla Security PPA, anything that requires a language pack will fail. This is due to us switching to in source Firefox language packs. natty-proposed contains updated system language packs which pull in the appropriate language pack from the firefox source. Thank you, Micah
