Update user.js 
It's not deprecated.

Either it's an RFP alternative now that RFP indirectly covers it: i.e RFP prompts you on non en-US builds to spoof your language, and if you choose to spoof as en-US, then this solves that. If you're not spoofing your locale, then the pref has no significance.

Or we can remove it entirely: as I see no point in it TBH. If you're on en-US, then you're not leaking. If you use RFP + opt in to language spoofing, you're covered now. If you use RFP and opt out of language spoofing, then you're not leaking anything because you're telling the truth as per other language/locale metrics: i.e you don't need to spoof.

95% of me says we just remove the pref. 5% of me says - see what Earthlng thinks

README.md

user.js

A user.js is a configuration file that can control hundreds of Firefox settings. For a more technical breakdown and explanation, you can read more on the overview wiki page.

ghacks user.js

The ghacks user.js is a template which aims to provide as much privacy and enhanced security as possible, and to reduce tracking and fingerprinting as much as possible - while minimizing any loss of functionality and breakage (but it will happen).

Everyone, experts included, should at least read the implementation wiki page, as it contains important information regarding a few ghacks user.js settings.

Note that we do not recommend connecting over Tor on Firefox. Use the Tor Browser if your threat model calls for it, or for accessing hidden services.

Also be aware that this user.js is made specifically for Firefox. Using it as-is in other Gecko-based browsers can be counterproductive, especially in the Tor Browser.
