Ever since a recent update the Firefox app for android has had issues with text input for me. It's only Firefox, nothing else on my device has this issue, and it makes inputting text a huge hassle.

It often seems like the cursor randomly will move into a word even if it shouldn't, or it will trigger an auto-complete partway through typing a word (despite me having this disabled). It especially seems to happen if I go back to correct a word that had a typo or if I'm typing something with a hyphen, so "level-headed" will become something like "level-level-head-lehvel", as if it's repeatedly trying to autocomplete from different parts in the word.

This seems most notable if I access sites that I have saved to my homescreen for easy access (such as Tumblr, since I don't use the app), but seems to happen at random in general.

It makes text input pretty frustrating, which is a probem since that's a primary thing I do online.

Dropdown menu changed to "Translate selection to French. Has always been "Translate selection to English". I use it all the time. I don't think I changed anything. How can I set it back to English? Tried this: "To change the translation selection back to English in Firefox, go to the Language section in the General panel of Firefox settings, select English from the dropdown menu, and restart Firefox. This will revert the translation settings to English." Didn't work. System language is English (CA).

Whenever Firefox offers or I request a translation it always, without fail, offers Estonian as the destination language.

I deleted all the languages from the app (or whatever) and just downloaded the ones I require but that made no difference.

I recently bought a new laptop running on Windows 11 Pro. All my settings for languages (English GB) in Firefox are the same as my old laptop, which was Windows 10.

On my W11Pro laptop, the translation icon doesn't appear when I highlight a portion of text in a foreign language, whereas it did appear in my old laptop. If I right click on the highlighted text I can access "translate selected text" but nothing happens when I click on that. Translating an entire webpage works fine, it's just the highlighted text that doesn't.

I'm not very technically minded, so any answer will need to be in simple terms! Thanks.

Firefox updated itself recently (150.0.1) 64-bit Windows and since then we have US English and our other languages 'Real' English ;-) French and Greek disappeared. We reinstalled them but - sorry about this guys - we would like to remove US English please. I followed some advice from Google but couldn't locate the US-English Dictionary.

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.
