Even so, it seems like a bug that you aren't offered the Marathi version (or a choice between that and English) when you download Firefox from a Maharashtra IP. Maybe something to report to Firefox bugzilla? Btw, do you need to download additional language packs to get Windows or MacOS localised to Marathi when you buy a new computer there?
And what do you think of the UI-solution suggested in the blog post?

Crazy alternative: Browsers typically include language detection libraries, used for detecting LTR/RTL status and spelling[1]. The default setting for Accept-Language could be based on the languages detected when the user types into spell checked text fields.
I think it's because the Marathi localization isn't an official one.
I've been discussing how to improve this.
IMO the blog post proposes a rather naive UI that will be too involved and confusing for this task. For advanced users, maybe, but then you want to actually define the "pretty good" etc. A drag-and-drop-choose-preference-order is better here, though still involved.

[1] Firefox doesn't do this for spelling yet, but I think Safari at least does https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1203024
