Bug 41417: Always prompt users to restart after changing language

We could rework the whole mechanism, but it is not worth it because we want to switch to Fluent, which will handle everything automatically. --- browser/components/preferences/main.js | 23 ++++++++--------------- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-)
