Hello, I am from Ukraine and I use a translator, sorry for that. I have poor physical and mental health. I have Windows XP and there is no possibility to buy a newer computer. Yesterday all my browser extensions were disabled. They are very important to me. I accept and understand all the risks. I beg you, please let me use these extensions. Please help...

Since April 5th I have lost spell check in the message pane of the emails I type on outlook.live.com It still works in the subject line, but not the message area.

Windows 10 pro 22H2 updated to end of March, when spell check was still working well. Firefox 137.1 English Canada Language selected (has worked well for years)

I go to outlook.live.com to read and answer my @hotmail.com emails.

When right clicking on a misspelled word in the message area I get only these options, Firefox does not give me the usual options.

I am currently having other problems on that site, clearing outlook.live.com cookies does not clear the problems.

Hello, Im using localized (Lithuanian) version of Firefox. Several updates back, Firefox started including russian and Polish in preferred languages by default. Personally i know how to remove those for myself. However, since im managing around 300 computers in a school. This starts to become an issue. In Lithuania we only have one official language. And when pages in a school start opening in foreign (russian) language this starts to be quite annoying. I would love to keep using Firefox but i need help.

Hi,

I'm using Firefox 155.0.1 64bits, in Linux Mint Debian Edition 7, x11, XFCE4. I have a Belgian keyboard. I have noticed that the dead keys aren't working any more when typing text / messages from within Firefox. I don't have this problem in other browsers or applications.

I used xev (x11 utility) to check if the dead keys were working and tested a different keyboard, all work. I tried to start Firefox in safe mode or by starting Firefox from a terminal with the following commands: - env GTK_IM_MODULE=xim firefox - env GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus firefox

But nothing worked. The dead keys aren't working. The issue must come from Firefox for it is not an hardware issue (tried different keyboards) nor software (dead keys work in other applications).

Any idea to fix this ?

My spell check generally doesn't work, but occasionally comes back to life, I have tried the about config, and change value to 2, I have tried uploading dictionary, and making sure check as I type is ticked, but the setting on config seems to keep reverting to 1, and I'm sure if I have successfully uploaded a dictionary, I clicked on language pack, Ironically while I'm typing this, my spell check is actively involved.

I get messages, questions and info from Firefox in Dutch. My language preferences in setting is English UK across the board. Browser, preferred, fall back and web site language. It works most of the time, apart from with Firefox. What can I do to make Firefox talk English to me?

A website I have accessed many times before now redirects me to an italian site. Is this because of the beta translation? I'd like to be able to go to the real site. mecaforpeace.org

Hello,all, The built-in translation button in Firefox disappeared on the Reddit website.

Please add a fixed access key for the 'Translate button'. I also recommend introducing an automatic website translation function. Thank!

I don't know why, but my previous post was removed - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1531371 - do you only accept praise here?

to summarise, upon installing the latest release in my new mac, instead of opening the link in a new tab when i right-click on it and press the T key, as was the case on my old mac, it now goes to 'translate this link to x' in the right click menu.

all the boxes in the 'translation settings' are left empty, so why do I still get this useless suggestion? how can I remove it from the menu?

and why is this supposedly 'privacy-focused browser' tracking my IP, which is the only way it could guess the language it suggests I translate my links to?

why are these stupid features not made optional?

When searching through this cite I am getting a lot of spanish - see screen shot. Every setting on system I can find states english. Anything I'm missing?? FF 136.0.1, linux, enlightenment e26. starting FF with -purgecaches switch does nothing, just added FF136.0.1 this A.M.

How do I add the Translate icon to my Toolbar - W10 - please?

If I open the following page in Chrome it automatically translated from German to English. https://www.camperprotect.de/p/fahrer-und-beifahrertuerverriegelung-einbruchschutz-2006-2019

I cannot find how to translate it in Firefox. I do not have the Translate icon that is suggested.

Many thanks

Brian

It only happens on some websites (Wikipedia for one) and doesn't happen anywhere else in my system. I was unable to root out the reason for this and all solutions seem to be for when there are boxes instead. I don't see boxes, only Russian letters for some reason.

I use to have spell check on my Mac Air, but now it's gone. How do I get it back on? I've googled to find out, tells me to go to Settings, Language, etc. Spell check shows it's mark in the box, but when I go to type in words it doesn't come underlined in red. How can I get it back?

Thank you in advance!

Below are two attached images, please take a look. From my understanding there are two different translation features built into firefox, you can identify them by looking at the attached screenshots. I very much dislike the translation features which has the "page icon". The other option which looks like an "alphabet icon" and has "EN" attached to it is very much welcome. I want to add this translation feature to the toolbar, however when i open up the "customize toolbar option" there is no translation feature available. How can i add it? I do remember that in previous firefox version, the translation feature was pinned to the very right of the bar.

To Firefox engineers and volunteers:

I am a native speaker of simplified Chinese, and I am currently running Firefox 149.0 for Windows desktop. There are some troubling issues and I hope to be able to fix them in the next version. Thank you very much.

The problem I encountered was that at least eight options, all in English, appeared in the browser's privacy and security settings, this has been in Simplified Chinese in previous versions of Firefox.

As a simplified Chinese user and English level of the user, I feel very inconvenient when using, I hope to get your response, thank you!

The original is simplified Chinese, I use the translator to translate into English, if there are mistakes please forgive me.

Good evening,

When the translator starts translating from English to French, it displays Indonesian, but I haven't installed anything in Indonesian, and I don't read Indonesian, so where is it coming from?

I'm hacked ?

Hi Lovely Firefox Developers, Help articles say that "The translation feature ... has been available for all users since Firefox version 118.", but I can't see it and I'm on v147. I don't want to install the add-on as the articles say it's obsolete, but I can't see any other way to get it. Am I missing something? Tim

Actually, I need to add sinhala language to the Firfox transalator. There isn't sinhalese to translate any kind of website or other article etc. So if i can add sinhala language to the firfox translator it can be verry helped full and usefull for me. So i kindly inform you to send me any meterial or technical information to fix that.

Thank you.

sincerely, Eranga Samarakoon.
