As per title. I can't get spell checking to work. I've reinstalled the latest version with an empty profile but that didn't fix it. Eset virus checker was switched off. The "Check your spelling as you type" flag is set. It's a Windows 11 system. Any clues anyone? Thanks.

Hello, This is definitely an annoying bug because each time I right click a specific tab then "Open a new tab on the right", there's no focus on the url bar. And when I want to type something I have to bring the mouse inside the url text zone and click before typing.

It would really be a nice QoL to have.

Thank you ~

Issue with incorrect Japanese font on 135

Hello,

I have encountered an issue on some websites where the Japanese text is using the font "Microsoft YaHei" when it should be using "Meiryo." Some examples are on the website bluesky, and bold text on Twitter such as in usernames.

I originally thought it was an issue on my end or in Windows, but when checking other programs and websites such as dengekionline and the non-bold text on Twitter it is using the correct font which I have confirmed via the inspector under the font section. When starting Firefox in safe mode it seems to use the correct font on the previously mentioned websites, so I disabled all my extensions and themes and this did not resolve the issue. I did a Firefox Refresh and this also did not resolve the issue.

I am not familiar with the intricacies on the Firefox about:config to really delve into the exact cause, so I ended up just reverting back to Firefox 134. On Firefox 134 with my same extensions previously the font is now back to Meiryo as it should be which leads me to believe it is something that was changed in Firefox 135. One thing I am considering is that the Japanese text is being recognized as Simplified Chinese by Firefox 135 as Simplified Chinese uses the Microsoft YaHei font as a default.

I have attached some photos that shows my Japanese font settings, and the same post by a user one on Firefox 135 which is using Microsoft YaHei and another on Firefox 134 which is using the correct Meiryo. I have also tried disabling the "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above" and then restarting on 135, but this did not resolve the issue. Thank you for your consideration.

Hi I’ve been searching online relentlessly for a solution to a problem I’m encountering with Firefox. The font it uses for Persian language is extremely difficult to read. Consequently, I’ve switched to Safari, which offers a significantly better font for Persian.

Firefox also encounters an issue with hashtags on Twitter. The hashtagged words appear in the same font as Safari, while the rest of the tweet is displayed in the default Firefox font.

I’d really appreciate it if you could help me fix this. I’d also like to know which font Safari uses for Persian language.

Thanks.
