Description

I have observed this happening in 1.12.5 and reproduced in 1.13.0 and 1.13.1. My profile language is set to be different from my system language on the phone, but often times the language that ends up getting used is the system language. If I log out then log in, the language used is the language set in profile as expected, but after restarting Firefox on Android 84.1.2 it changes back to the system language.

Language is stored in a cookie. Is the browser configured to clear cookies on restart?

This may be due to #14482 ?

It is not; there is no special configuration on the browser. Reproduced on Firefox Android 89.1.1 and Gitea 1.14.3.
