    Bug 41417: Always prompt users to restart after changing language
    
    This is a temporary patch that we need until we switch our strings to
    Fluent. The reason is that we currently set strings when we populate
    our XUL content.
    We could rework the whole mechanism, but it is not worth it because we
    want to switch to Fluent, which will handle everything automatically.
