Double-click Chinese text not to select a word but a whole sentence

Ctrl + left arrow similarly cannot differentiate between Chinese word boundary. Is there a way to recognize Chinese words like Google Chrome does?

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

This is fixed in Firefox 118 Beta, it currently requires going to about:config in the address bar and changing intl.icu4x.segmenter.enabled to true (Bug 1719535).

Again which is the Firefox language version? It's either Chinese Firefox or English Firefox Browser version.

Not 100% clear, but I can triple click to get the first section in the red circle and holding CRTL + Shift + arrow key to select word by word. see screenshot

In the future it would move things along faster if you provide links and examples. It took me a minute to find something in Chinese.

For example, in Chrome double-click will select “中国”(means “China”),but select “中国队先在半决赛中对阵东道主韩国队” in Firefox.

So what i want is select a Chinese word instead of a sentence.
