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 ?

My Firefox is in English, but the new update page is never displayed in English,

https://www.firefox.com/pt-PT/whatsnew/general/?from_main_nav=true&version=155

Problem number 1: It should be based on the installed language.

Problem number 2: It says PT-PT but it's 100% PT-BR, What is "celular" and "privativo"?, sintax does not conform to european portuguese either.

How to keep the browser from messing with the language of websites?

I speak more than one language and want to have transparency and control of the content. Therefore I always want to see any website in it's native language first. My pref… (read more)

I speak more than one language and want to have transparency and control of the content. Therefore I always want to see any website in it's native language first.

My preferred situation then would be to have a menu in the tab where I may choose a translation. In the case of a multi-lingual site I want to have those languages as additional options on top - with an indicator for the sites default language. So I may first choose the sites language, then (possibly) into which that is translated into.

But at present I can use only the settings of preferred language for multi-lingual sites, never knowing what language was the base for the content. (Presumably the most accurate content of the website.) And I can add languages for translation and sort them, while - weirdly - I cannot delete them later as there's no control element for getting rid of (maybe accidentally) downloaded ones.

Is there a solution already? Did I miss something in the settings? And: Where is the „translation panel“ to which the settings „Translations - More translation settings“ refer to in the block „Never translate these sites“?

Firefox automatically deletes my text after I type the "." after it.

I am currently using the Vietnamese Telex IME of Windows 11 and I just found out that whenever I type the "." after any word, that word will be deleted. This is how to recreate the bug: 1. Type "hello " 2. Backspace (delete) 1 time, now it is "hello" 3. Type "." and the whole thing is deleted, turned into an "." string instead of "hello."

I just wanna ask if there is any setting or config that can solve this problem. Thanks.

How to Edit/Accept Proper Spelling in Dictonary FireFox Uses? I'm attempting to add town name to remove red misspelled line.

I am attempting to edit a free certificate online before printing it out. I'm using the certificate's online editor to edit it's text. I'm not sure where the dictionary is in Firefox, but our town's name comes up with a red, misspelled line under it. I had "added it to dictionary" on Word years ago, but I can not print out the certificate until I remove the red line, and when I right click on the text box, since it's inside the website's text editor, no spelling error comes up.

Can I independently edit the dictionary that Firefox uses, to add my town's name, and person's last name to it, to remove this red line?

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?
