Brief description of your issue
I use the German language version of Firefox.
UnigetUi lists the package ID for Firefox as en-US.
When I update Firefox using UnigetUi (source: winget), the language in Firefox changes to English, and the German language option (selected in the settings) is removed.
Where in UnigetUI do I configure Firefox to use the German version and not the US version for updates?
Steps to reproduce
Install firefox german version
Winget upgrade command with id Mozilla.Firefox
Firefox changed to english language
Expected behavior
Update firefox with winget upgrade
Actual behavior
change the Language of firefox
Environment
Winget

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with a German Firefox installation and winget upgrade --id Mozilla.Firefox, then inspect how WinGet selects the Firefox package and handles language-specific variants. Done means upgrading through the WinGet source without changing Firefox from German or removing its German language option.
