I use Firefox in Japanese. Often, when I type Japanese text into an input field, a red wavy underline appears. I know this is the spell-check feature, but I don’t understand the specific criteria it uses to determine whether something is correct or not. Since it doesn’t actually correct the text for me, I’m thinking of turning it off, but before I do, I’d like to understand how this feature works.

For example, even a sentence that seems perfectly fine,

“Apples are delicious.” is flagged as incorrect by this feature. It’s a confusing feature—if I remove the period (.), the underline disappears.

Is this actually useful? It underlines every single sentence.

P.S. I believe the Japanese dictionary is downloaded into Firefox.

Same question, expanded. We're in the age of international browsing- Why when you choose a default language for the browser, doesn't it already ask if you want the page you're looking at (if not in the default language) to be translated? You guys are years behind missing a feature like that. Even internet explorer had that function.

I have set the "Translate Selected" to be English. it suggests Finnish to me. I do not want this there is no option to make it only translate selected to English. I do not want it to be Finnish. I only want things Translated to English. Please give me option to only translate to languages I want. Or make the System settings Respect my choices. Thank you.

Hi,

I'm using Firefox 155.0.1 64bits, in Linux Mint Debian Edition 7, x11, XFCE4. I have a Belgian keyboard. I have noticed that the dead keys aren't working any more when typing text / messages from within Firefox. I don't have this problem in other browsers or applications.

I used xev (x11 utility) to check if the dead keys were working and tested a different keyboard, all work. I tried to start Firefox in safe mode or by starting Firefox from a terminal with the following commands: - env GTK_IM_MODULE=xim firefox - env GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus firefox

But nothing worked. The dead keys aren't working. The issue must come from Firefox for it is not an hardware issue (tried different keyboards) nor software (dead keys work in other applications).

Any idea to fix this ?

Bonjour, La langue FRENCH est cochée dans mes paramètres et pourtant à chaque ouverture de la boite mail, tout est en anglais ! Je veux uniquement la langue FRENCH.

Merci

The British have colonized my spell check somehow and I'm completely at a loss on how to evict them.

When I right-click to change my spell check language, the only option I have is "English (United Kingdom)", while the only Dictionary that I have installed is "English (US)". In my language settings, while I can set any preferred language, my only Fallback Language option is "English (GB)".

I would like my Spell Check to properly reflect the dumb language that I speak, please. I'm on Version 156, but this has persisted for several months.

Steps already taken: - Scoured the settings for a misconfiguration - Rebooted my computer - Cleared the Startup Cache - Opened Firefox in Troubleshooting Mode - Refreshing Firefox

System: Linux Mint 22.3 Xfce Firefox web-browser: mint-001 - 1.0 _ 155.0.1 (64-bit) Hardware: Both on my Desktop and Laptop computers.

Since the recent updates, 1-2 weeks, every time I try to enter a character via Unicode insertion, CTRL+ALT+U, the character does not insert but a row break. I made a video about it: https://youtu.be/OP9UCGpZdEc

This happens in every website I use; mostly likely on every website.

Is there anything I can do now?

Thank you for your time reading this. 🙇

I'm using Mozilla's Firefox Debian package, Firefox 155.0.1 (64-bit), on a desktop. Until this version, my compose key worked with no problem, in Firefox and all other applications. Now it works with all other applications, but not Firefox.

My .bashrc includes this line: export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim

I checked about:config, and focusmanager.testmode is set to false.

Any ideas? I can't type my name without the compose key...

I am in Bogota Colombia visiting my family and want to book a flight Bogota to Santa Marta but Mozilla doesn't allow me to book in colombian pesos but in American doblarse as if I was the US at the moment.

How do I get Firefox to stop flagging Canadian spellings as wrong when English-ca is my top preferred language in settings? I am writing a WordPress post using Firefox on Mac.

I have downloaded downloaded language packs English UK and French France, but when I spell check in Mozilla the only option in the open menu for language there is only English US to use even though the other two preferred languages have been downloaded. Am I missing a trick to activate the languages so that they show in my language menu when spell checking?

Very frustrating that I only have a default of US considering I am in France and use French and UK English.

Ciao, ti comunico che in mattinata come sempre all'apertura della posta come di incanto thunderbird era tutto in italiano, probabilmente ha risposto a scoppio ritardato all'azione lanciata in precedenza per scaricare e installare il link ricevuto dal tuo collega per ottenere la nuova versione che all'atto non ha recepito ma ora è perfetta cioè in italiano come la preferivo, riguardo il passaggio di cambiare lingua che mi suggerisci l'avevo provato senza successo. Ti ringrazio per il supporto Vs. che mi avete offerto mi auspico di non avere problemi in seguito cmq ti saluto cordialmente. Renato

Ciao, premesso che non sono tanto pratico come verificherai dalle mie precedenti discussioni con tuoi colleghi, ho installato l'ultima versione di Thunderbird su importanti segnalazioni di criticità dell'antivirus Kaspersky che suggeriva di installare l'ultima versione pertanto ho lanciato richiesta di aiuto al forum della comunità che mi ha inviato il link tradotto in italiano avendo (x64 it) ho scaricato e installato ma senza successo perchè è rimasto sempre in inglese, forse non avendo tanta conoscenza di passaggi da eseguire non so. Spero che comprenderai la questione auspicando un tuo cortese aiuto ha risolvere il problema cmq grazie e saluti. Renato

Just had occasion to use the word Backpfeifengesicht. Out of curiosity, I highlighted, right-clicked, and chose "Translate to English". Hilarious result: "Baking pipe face".

(The correct answer is "punch-me face".)

Translate is often quite good, but I think it would be nice to be able to report the occasional mistake. So, as I asked in the subject linke: is there a central place to do this?

Thanks.

ich kann Firefox nich in deutsch wiedergeben. Bei der Sprachauswahl geht immer alles auf Englich zurück. Das Problem besteht seit der Ubuntu-Version 18.04.6.was kann ich tun?
