It looks like the actual langpack files are in /usr/lib/firefox-x.y.z.
You can try deleting them, then 'touch' the filename to create a zero
byte file, then make the file immutable with 'chattr +i'. That might
crash the update process, though.
And if it is a major update to firefox, it creates a new firefox-x.y.zz
folder, so it won't help in that case.
