I am trying to disable the text segmentation behavior in latest Firefox(v151), but I have encountered an issue where changing the preference in [about:config] does not seem to have any effect.

Details:

   Target Preference:  intl.icu4x.segmenter.enabled
   Current Setting:       false

   Problem: 
   Even after setting this to false (and restarting the browser), the text segmentation behavior (such as word selection logic) remains unchanged and appears to still be using the ICU4X engine.

   Reference:

I would like to know:

  1.  Has this preference been deprecated or hardcoded to true in recent versions of Firefox?

   2. Is there any other way to disable the ICU4X-based segmenter or revert to the previous segmentation logic?

   3. If this is a known change, is there an alternative preference to adjust how word selection handles specific languages (e.g., Japanese)?

I am using the latest version of Firefox. Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

how can i restore control of my device? I keep receiving this: "someone else, like a parent or administrator, controls settings on the network, browser or device that you’re using", but it is my device and I am a 41 year old adult.

I REALLY don't want to see prompts like this ... when FF upgrades to a newer release. I postponed clicking on adding this application since I really didn't know what it as going to do, or how to remove it once done. The little 'i' in the red circle did nothing. So - I finally clicked on it to make it go away. Not hat I call a very seamless upgrade.

System Windows 11 - Firefox 151.0.3 All normal actions from mouse right click have disappeared eg open link in new tab or private window, copy, paste etc etc. The Settings General - Tabs has not changed and previously worked rt click ok. Any help to restore the rt click function will be appreciated.

My mouse is setup so that the tilt wheel does Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab rather then whatever actions the tilt wheel would normally send, and that has worked fine for years, but now all of a sudden it is not working in Firefox, it's changing the zoom level instead which is not what I want. Firefox must be reading the mouse directly or something, because it shouldn't even be getting normal tilt wheel events.

I copy (Ctrl+C) some text from Chrome , and want to paste in Firefox (Ctrl+V) whey need to move to the icon and click the icon 1 more time , then Firefox can let me past the text ? I don't want this function , downgrade the performance seriously.

I think can change it back in settings , no need to move to the icon and click .

Firefox opens on my second monitor despite my confirming my primary monitor as 1 in Windows 11 I have tried on many occasions to "lock" Firefox onto monitor 1 via settings in Win 11 and Firefox, but it still opens probably 3 times out of 5 on the 2nd monitor. My version is 151.0.3

Running Windows 11 on Dell DB16250 Laptop. Using Firefox, updated. I want to use Firefox and eliminate Edge always. Is there a way to remove Edge from being default for ALL file types? --- Some types, like .pdf, I will associate with in that case Adobe Acrobat (of course). Others I may leave with NO association. If I chance on one of those files I'll select then. I do not want Edge to be triggered by ANY file type. --- Can I wipe Edge from all of the type associations Microsoft ties to Edge in some general way? Or must I go through the list and un-Edge them one by one? --- Thank you.

Previous to version 151.0.1, when I pressed ctrl-L, Firefox focused the URL bar and I was able to edit the URL. Now, on 151.0.1, pressing ctrl-L clears the URL and a dropdown for the search engine appears in the left of the URL bar (see attached screenshot). I have verified this on a new, blank profile. Is there a way to restore the old behavior?
