Why too many websites are showing in Chinese on my Android Firefox? (infosec.pub)

This does not happen with any other chromium based browser

My phone locale is set to Italian with English as second language. IP address is Italian. I'm not understanding why sites like f-droid, Google dev documentation, gitlab, are all defaulting to Chinese as I can't read it...

Sometimes I can find a link to switch back to either English or Italian, but the next visit they revert to Chinese...

It’s impossible to contact Google to fix their implementation of language detection…

What do you mean by this? If the site parses the header incorrectly and displays a wrong language, then it's a bug of the website, not the browser. You also said that chromium sends headers that are parsed correctly.

I mean that Google needs to fix their android dev documentation site to parse the header correctly, and I feel very unlikely that they're going to fix if their own browser doesn't send an header like that and doesn't have the problem
