The British have colonized my spell check somehow and I'm completely at a loss on how to evict them.

When I right-click to change my spell check language, the only option I have is "English (United Kingdom)", while the only Dictionary that I have installed is "English (US)". In my language settings, while I can set any preferred language, my only Fallback Language option is "English (GB)".

I would like my Spell Check to properly reflect the dumb language that I speak, please. I'm on Version 156, but this has persisted for several months.

Steps already taken: - Scoured the settings for a misconfiguration - Rebooted my computer - Cleared the Startup Cache - Opened Firefox in Troubleshooting Mode - Refreshing Firefox

I am stuck in full screen. I can get back to the tab menu by moving my mouse but I have arthritis in my hands and every extra movement makes it harder for me to use my computer, in addition to the flipping back and forth being incredibly annoying. I am going to have to use a different browser if I can't find a way to stop this. There must be an easy fix but I can't find anything in settings that helps.

Hello

I just activated the Mozilla built-in VPN (beta).

I wanted to ask about the whitelist and blacklist features.

I can see currently, that there is an option to add specific websites in the VPN settings, and that the tooltip says "Use VPN for all websites except the ones on the list", acting as sort of a whitelist for the VPN features.

However, I am wondering if there is an option for a blacklist, where i would like to keep VPN off by default for all websites, except the ones on the blacklist.

For a simple example: wowhead.com is blocked in my country of origin, so I would love if i can turn on the VPN for ONLY that website - and keep the rest of my traffic on other websites without the vpn.

Transfer ownership of two add-ons from old inaccessible account (15677483) to new account (17480927)

Hello AMO team,

I am the developer of two add-ons published from my old account, which I can no longer access: I lost the authenticator app used for two-step authentication, and I have no backup authentication codes or account recovery key for that account. Password reset is therefore impossible (the reset flow requires a TOTP code, and no recovery key exists on the account).

I would like to request an official transfer of ownership of the following two add-ons from the old account to my new account:

1. Admin-panel quick access - https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/admin-panel-quick-access/ (add-on id 2650700, guid {dc8766bb-be8a-4bf9-aec8-6bf114d6ed24}) 2. TripleKeep - https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/triplekeep/ (add-on id 2654061, guid {ddb290f5-c226-4a22-9dd0-b1731169d15b})

- Old account: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/15677483/ ("Shepel", registered 2020-02-19) - New account: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/17480927/ ("Shepel Pavel", email [redacted] @mail.ru)

Proof of ownership:

- The support email listed on BOTH add-on listings is [redacted] @shepel.net - an email I control and have full access to. I can reply to any verification message sent to that address. - Both listings link to my GitHub repositories, which I still control: https://github.com/shepelpavel/go-to-admin (branch firefox) and https://github.com/shepelpavel/triple-keep (branch firefox_ver). - The manifests in those repositories match the published versions exactly: "Go To Admin" version 1.3 (= published version 1.3 of admin-panel-quick-access) and "TripleKeep" version 1.4 (= published version 1.4 of triplekeep). - Commit history in those repos (author [redacted] @gmail.com, dated 2020) matches the AMO submission dates (2020-07-02 / 2020-07-23 / 2020-08-11).

I have intentionally not re-uploaded these add-ons under the new account to avoid GUID conflicts - I am requesting an official ownership transfer instead.

Please let me know if you need any additional verification. Thank you!

Best regards, Pavel Shepel [redacted] @shepel.net

System: Linux Mint 22.3 Xfce Firefox web-browser: mint-001 - 1.0 _ 155.0.1 (64-bit) Hardware: Both on my Desktop and Laptop computers.

Since the recent updates, 1-2 weeks, every time I try to enter a character via Unicode insertion, CTRL+ALT+U, the character does not insert but a row break. I made a video about it: https://youtu.be/OP9UCGpZdEc

This happens in every website I use; mostly likely on every website.

Is there anything I can do now?

Using the latest Firefox update with Windows 10. I've got three popups in the lower right corner of my screen (see uploaded image), and each refreshes periodically with a musical phrase that sounds like a smartphone notification. Though each says "Mozilla Firefox" in the upper left hand corner, the popups are present whether the browser is open or not. All three say, "via da75iiinaffc73ar8f20.yird-protect.pro".

I've already gone to Settings, cleared my History, made the recommended changes in Permissions and Data, and closed and reopened the browser. The popups remain.

I have issues discerning where each of my desktop windows are. To help with this I use gtk.css styling to add a border on all of my desktop windows. For some reason, Firefox does not draw this border.

Is there any way to apply a border around the Firefox window?

I was able to get a border around the navigation area of the browser by adding a userChrome.css file but I don't see any way to do the same thing for the whole window.

Can this be done in userChrome.css? Using gtk.css styling? Any other setting or file?

I am running Firefox 155.0.1 on Ubuntu Linux 26.04.1 LTS using the Gnome 50 desktop.
