Currently en-us and en-gb are available as separate installers.
Instead it would be more efficient if an en-us and en-int were available. en-int
could ask you which region you were in (US, UK, CA, IE, ZA, NZ AU, etc.) during
the install, and then set the prefs and searchplugins based on that.
This would save creating a different localisation for each English-speaking country.
The same could be done for other languages - for example French and Spanish.

You mean 1 installer for all languages/regions ?

1 installer for all regions of that language.
For example English and Spanish would have different installers, but English
(Canada) and English (UK) would use the same installer.
Likewise Spanish (Latin America) and Spanish (Spain) would use the same installer.
This is a problem IMO as currently there is no installer for many English
speaking countries, and the installer for the ones there are are a completely
separate localisation - which is unneccessary.

It'd be even more efficient if it was just "en" for all anglophones, including
Americans.

That's true, but you'd be sacrificing the ability to localise Firefox according
to different variants of English - American English vs. British English, for
example.

This isn't really much of a win (and will increase the size of the installer download for no good reason), and complicates the install process. WONTFIX.
