I have downloaded additional dictionaries to spell check when I'm writing in other languages on the firefox browser, yet I am unable to switch to those dictionaries. I've tried multiple. I have cleared caches. I have restarted. I have installed and uninstalled. I have the latest version.

They simply do not work. I work in multiple languages and would love to continue to use Firefox has my default browser.

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.

I am trying to use DuckDuckGo to do a search here is the search Jorgensen Hand Plane Lowes This search locates the store near me SO how do I stop my location from being exposed ? I do not want to use a VPN. I have FireFox and Chrome with DuckDuckGo set as the default search engine. I have cleared search history in all browsers even IE which I do not use

Do not have "Block new requests asking to access your location" checked in settings. I have deleted cookies from hulu.com and restarted firefox. Still nothing. Hulu can't help. Location works in Chrome and Edge but I refuse to use those.

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.

How do I stop these offers of translations ? Every single page one visits , these damned offers are covering the page and have to be clicked away. It's worse than advertisements ....

Bonjour J'utilise Firefox et Thunderbird depuis plusieurs années et je contribue modestement au financement de vos activités.

j'ai sélectionné la langue française mais toutes vos explications sont en anglais...? C'est dommage je ne peux profiter de vos nouveaux développements.

Merci de me dire comment accéder aux infos en Français. Continuez à développer des logiciels qui ne proviennent pas de Google...

On some sites, the translator does not allow you to select the translation language Ukrainian. It is not in the list. Although the browser language and the default language selected in Firefox is Ukrainian, in Windows OS it is also Ukrainian. And it is also strange that Ukrainian cannot be downloaded for offline translation, it is also not in the list.

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 ~
