Firefox Community Forum

I've used firefox for the past few years, swapping over from Chrome and for the last few months FF has asked to translate every new page I visit, and the option to "never translate english" is always grayed out. I've tried this in incognito mode, on my laptop and with no addons - the bug persists. Yet still I am unable to find any similar problem online that has this issue... which boggles my mind, since it should be prevalent if a lot of people had this problem. So - anyone who has any idea what could be causing this out of seemingly nowhere, that is persists across computers and without addons?

Hi I’ve been searching online relentlessly for a solution to a problem I’m encountering with Firefox. The font it uses for Persian language is extremely difficult to read. Consequently, I’ve switched to Safari, which offers a significantly better font for Persian.

Firefox also encounters an issue with hashtags on Twitter. The hashtagged words appear in the same font as Safari, while the rest of the tweet is displayed in the default Firefox font.

I’d really appreciate it if you could help me fix this. I’d also like to know which font Safari uses for Persian language.

Thanks.

Below are two attached images, please take a look. From my understanding there are two different translation features built into firefox, you can identify them by looking at the attached screenshots. I very much dislike the translation features which has the "page icon". The other option which looks like an "alphabet icon" and has "EN" attached to it is very much welcome. I want to add this translation feature to the toolbar, however when i open up the "customize toolbar option" there is no translation feature available. How can i add it? I do remember that in previous firefox version, the translation feature was pinned to the very right of the bar.

Right now when I right-click to translate a word or a full page, it automatically picks one of my country’s regional languages as the default. I only want translations to go to English, but I can’t find any setting in Firefox to change that. How do I make English the default (and only) translation language?

Hi

I cannot reactivate spell check as I type, with English dictionary and the thick box ticked. Previously I could not get rid of spell check in my 2nd language (Turkish) but as I have managed, now I cannot restore spell check in English.

Can anyone help please?

Should I delete and reinstall Firefox? If I do will I lose my bookmarks?

Thanks in adance to all.

My set homepage on Firefox was in English and has now switched to Spanish. Nothing I do will allow me to change to the English version. I have searched using different engines but every time I pick the English version of the MSN news website after clicking on the link it comes up in Spanish.

Oddly, if I pull up the Firefox private browser it comes up as the English version as it shows in my homepage settings. Any idea on what is going on?

Thanks, Rob S99

My primary google account's language is set to english. If I search normally, then the results are shown in english. If I open a private window and search in google, the results will try to be in the regional english and google asks if I want to switch to english every time.

I'm used to visiting the about:translations page on desktop and Android to help translate text. This still works on desktop, but it looks like a few releases back, this ability was removed from Android. I can't find any info on what the replacement is, or any new article talking about removing support for it on mobile. What's going on?

I'm sorry but this is garbage.

I see posts here from five years ago asking about this, and fixing this issue is a non-trivial process particularly for those not computer literate enough. It should literally just work out of the box with zero issues like EVERY OTHER BROWSER.

Crap like this is why I dumped this browser years ago, I guess I was right to do so.

I had recently set my vpn to south korea, when i went to search something the results would be in the Korean. I had changed my VPN back to North America, but for some reason the language won't change back to English and is stuck at Korean. How do i remedy this?
