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.

When I'm using the adress bar, I would like to see suggested bookmarks before suggested browsing history. I don't want to turn off the suggestions from browsing history, but in 99% the suggested bookmark is what I'm looking for. It would save me a few seconds every time I'm using the adress bar if the websites, which I wilfully decided to add to my bookmarks, are suggested before any website I only visited once. Best regards

The default language on Firefox somehow changed from Italian to Japanese. I did not reinstall Firefox, I can't think of anything that I did that could've changed the default language, especially because now I can't seem to change it. I have reinstalled the Italian language pack and placed it at the top of my preference list, but Japanese is still there and I cannot remove it (the button is greyed out).

Some extensions are broken because they look at the default language and not at the current in-use preferred language.

How can I change the default language without having to reinstall Firefox?

I am using Firefox 128.5.0esr (64-bit) on Debian 12. This is the browser that comes installed with the system. Recently, an offline translation feature was added to Firefox. In settings, you can download various languages. I would like to know where language models for offline translation are stored. The downloaded languages I want to copy to another computer without internet connection so that I can use the offline translation on this computer.
