I was testing out my extension Context Search X in Deutsch, and when I changed general.useragent.locale back to en-US, all the extensions still have their ui in Deutsch. I have restarted Firefox many times already.

Maybe the browser caches the locale folder although I think it shouldn't. How do I make it refresh all the folders affected by the locale switching?
