I-Firefox Community Forum

I went to a website and downloaded a file and now websites are in Spanish instead of my language. What can I do to fix this issue? I have already confirmed the language settings are correct.

My firefox language setting is defaulted to English and yet recently up until now, my.yahoo.com portal suddenly appears in Spanish. I've cleared cookies and history , but still the results have not changed. I tried using the my.yahoo.com portal in MS Edge and still it comes up in Spanish. Please help. Thank you.

If I select (highlight) one word, or a small number (~3) and right-click, the context menu will always display "Translate Selection to Dutch" as one of the options. If I select a few more, it will switch to "Translate Selection to English" (assuming that what has been selected is not English).

Example: "rouvre la porte" vs "rouvre la porte au nucléaire"

I have English (United States) [en-us] and English [en] in Settings as my "Website language". Possibly related: full page translation always defaults to English, too.

Thanks in advance.

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.

when we open firefox, the language comes up in Germany, it whats to know if we want to translate to English but should come up in Englisg. we went into settings and made sure it was set to English

If I display (e.g.) Nepal in Google maps, initially the Nepali names appear beneath the Latin alphabet names, but only for a split second. They are then overwritten with unicode block icons. Some scripts work (e.g. Cyrillic, Chinese, Japanese, Armenian), but most south Asian scripts do this weird "works for a split second" rendering.

I'm running 128.8.0esr (64-bit) on Debian 12.

This problem does NOT occur in Safe Mode!

In Normal mode, I disabled all plugins and extensions, but the rendering still breaks.

Any ideas?

The same page renders properly in Chrome 134.0.6998.88

Every time I use translate I need to select the destination language. Am I missing something because this is really annoying. It's quicker to screenshot and use a third party translator which is frankly mad.

Bonjour,

Sur un MacBook Pro sous OS X 10.9.5 j'ai chargé firefox 78.0.2 64Bit et il est impossible de changer le language pour le mettre en francais. Pouvez-vous m'aider, merci

Hi, I am curious to know why I can't completely remove the Dutch language in the language settings. When I installed the browser it was automatically set-up to Dutch - a language don't speak - then I was able to add English but some functions like spelling corrections are still in Dutch. I would like to get rid of it. I have the same problem with German on another computer. Thanks!
