If you running on a computer with limited space, such as flash RAMs on
those mini laptops, then the more space you can save, the better.  17
megs here, 10 megs there, it all adds up.  And I have noticed that it's
quicker to start Firefox when they're all disabled.

Thankfully, the last few Firefox updates haven't re-enabled all the
languages that I had disabled.  I notice a few new ones get added, from
time to time, and they will be enabled by default.
