Language Settings Not Saved Per Profile in Orion RC

Summary:
Seems like language settings in Orion RC stopped being saved per profile, reverting to default settings upon browser restart. This issue was not present in earlier versions, specifically prior to Orion RC 0.99.129.4.1-rc

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create two profiles in Orion RC
2. Open a Profile 2 and change language under Settings (Cmd+,) > General
3. Relaunch Orion RC when prompted
4. Open Profile 1. Language should be set to default (English), but it is now set to the language of the Profile 2
5. Change language in Profile 1 to English.
6. Relaunch the browser
7. Open Profile 2 in Orion RC.
8. Observe that the language setting has reverted to the default (geo-detected) language instead of retaining the selected language.

Recording

Actual Behavior:
The language setting resets to the default option every time the browser is restarted, disregarding any changes made by the user.

Configuration:

Product: Orion RC
Version: 0.99.129.4.1-rc (WebKit 621.1.2.111.4)
Reported Date: December 7, 2024
Environment: Apple macOS 13.4 (22F66)

Additional Information:

• This issue appears to have emerged after updating to Orion RC 0.99.129.4.1-rc, as previous versions allowed users to save their language preferences per profile without issue.
• Similar problems have been reported in other contexts where settings do not persist across sessions, indicating a potential underlying bug related to profile management or settings retention in the Orion RC environment

Expected Behavior:
The selected language should remain consistent across sessions and be specific to each user profile, allowing for personalized browsing experiences.

Recommendations for Fix:

• Investigate changes made in Orion RC 0.99.129.4.1 that may have impacted how profile-specific settings are saved.
• Implement a mechanism to ensure that language preferences are retained across sessions for each user profile.
• Consider rolling back recent changes if a quick fix is not feasible within a reasonable timeframe.

This bug might be affecting user experience in Orion RC for those who rely on the language settings in the browser.
