I have untoggled the spellcheck but whenever I send an email in Outlook it still underlines supposedly incorrect words. Now I am sending emails in German on a "German"keyboard. Would this make a difference ? I hope to be able to do an email without the annoying red underlines when the words are correct.

Dear Assistant,

Could you please forward my request to the developers to add Arabic to the list of languages?

When I select a word to translate, I see English. When I go to the settings to change it, -about:preferences#general - I couldn't find Arabic in the list. This tool is very helpful and saves me time compared to using Google Translate website. I haven't found any add-on that does this job.

Thank you for considering my request.

Sincerely yours,

A bug in the language selection of the context menu

Even if a picture is worth 1000's of words. I must provide some info about my installation. I am monitoring this multi language spellcheck in the context menu since its inception, since I proposed it. The three languages displayed are installed, and so is the French language pack.

I use the French language generic .tar file and it is installed in /opt.

Prior to FF 135, this setting never functioned properly. It required several attempts to register the additional selection of English. Something is blocking it and cannot be seen. But, when I close FF and restart, the selection appears.

There is no Japanese in the language to which the website is translated. It is understandable that Chinese is available in the Asian region. However, we would like to ask why there is Indonesian, Vietnamese and Korean, but no Japanese.

I'm getting this weird gibberish , especially when I post to Democratic underground, I looks like this

In 1978, my parents went to Poland, the first foreign trip in each of their lives. When they returned to our home in Moscow, my mother couldn’t stop talking about what they’d seen — not a place but a movie, Bob Fosse’s “Cabaret.” One scene in particular stayed with her. Three friends are returning from a weekend trip. Sleep-deprived, hung over and preoccupied with their sexual and romantic entanglements, they pull over at a roadside cafe. There, a teenager wearing a Hitler Youth uniform starts singing. He is both earnest and, in his brown pants tucked into white knee-high socks, puerile. But after a minute, other young people in uniform join in, and soon all but one customer are standing and singing. The protagonists duck out. They have been pushing Nazism out of their minds, but at this moment they realize that they are in the minority, that life as they’ve been living it is over. The song everyone around them is singing is “Tomorrow Belongs to Me.”


How do I fix it?

Asian Language Input Method Inactive in Webpage Text Fields After Navigation via Bookmarks or Copy/Paste in Firefox 135.0.1

Description: In Firefox version 135.0.1, when navigating to a website by clicking a bookmark or by pasting a URL (without first activating an Asian language input method… (read more)

Description:

In Firefox version 135.0.1, when navigating to a website by clicking a bookmark or by pasting a URL (without first activating an Asian language input method in the address bar), Asian language input methods are inactive within webpage text fields. Only English characters can be entered. Switching languages or input methods has no effect.

Steps to Reproduce:

  • Open Firefox 135.0.1.
  • Navigate to a website by clicking a bookmark or by pasting a URL into the address bar (do not activate an Asian language input method in the address bar before navigating).
  • Click on a text field within the webpage.
  • Attempt to activate an Asian language input method.

Expected Result: The Asian language input method should activate, allowing the user to enter characters in the selected language.

Actual Result: The Asian language input method remains inactive. Only English characters can be entered.

Workaround: Clicking on the address bar and activating an Asian language input method there enables the input method to function correctly in webpage text fields afterward. This workaround persists for all webpages within the same Firefox window. Alternatively, if the user first types an URL into the address bar, while using an asian language input method, the problem does not occur.

Environment: Browser: Firefox 135.0.1 Operating System: Windows 11 Input Methods: Microsoft Chinese Input and Microsoft Japanese Input (both exhibit the same issue) Websites: Google, Bing, Yahoo and other websites.

Additional Information: This issue does not occur in Microsoft Edge.

I want my Firefox to be in English, but with either ISO-date and time or European date and time. Locale en_DK, preferably.

Is that possible? I'm on MacOS. Chrome doesn't seem to have a problem honouring the system settings.

Setting intl.regional_prefs.use_os_locales doesn't change anything.
