[Bug]: locale is not propagated to workers in firefox

Version

Steps to reproduce

playwright/tests/library/browsercontext-locale.spec.ts

Line 166 in 95a728a

it('should format number in workers', async ({ browser, server }) => {

This test passes in CI, but not locally. I assume it's because CI locale happens to give the same output as es-MX. If you change the locale to ru-RU, it should also fail in CI.

It seems that workers are not respecting the context locale.

Expected behavior

Workers should be respecting context locale.

Actual behavior

Workers are using system locale.

@aslushnikov could you take a look? this seems to have regressed in the last roll.

[Torgen]

I had issues with navigator.language being undefined in the latest version. Does that seem like it could be related?

[aslushnikov]

@Torgen this i cannot reproduce; can you please file a separate issue?
