Research direction

Start by reproducing the Mozilla Firefox update using WinGet v1.7.2782-preview with a pt-BR installation, then trace how the package and locale are selected during an update. Done means an existing Portuguese Firefox installation remains pt-BR instead of being replaced with en-US.
