Please tell me how to stop this. I have spellcheck enabled and a English (UK) dictionary selected. This problem has just started. My computer is old now and I'm running Windows 10. I had to do a 'hard shut-down' recently when my computer was unresponsive - might this have caused the problem? This underlining is only happening in Thunderbird, not in Word for example. I would be grateful for a simple solution as I'm not very computer-savvy.

This issue only pertains to the Chinese language and is not a website problem. In the startup settings, when the option to open previous windows and tabs is enabled, after keeping several web pages and re-entering the browser, Firefox will attempt to open the previous tabs. However, if a new tab is selected at this time, the search bar should normally display 'Use Baidu to search, or enter a URL,' but in reality, the characters for 'Baidu' appear as garbled text. This bug consistently occurs in this version. This issue only appeared after I automatically updated Firefox a few days ago; I have never encountered this problem before. May I ask everyone, how should this problem be resolved?

Dear Support,

Around 12-14 August 2026, there was an update pushed for the Thunderbird client esr (extended support release). My current version is 153.1.0esr. After the update, some of my new e-mail received question mark characters '?' instead of content in Traditional Chinese.

I could view the affected e-mail on the e-mail server, but not on the recently updated Thunderbord client. The issue only exists after the recently update of thunderbird esr in August 2026.

Not all e-mails in Traditional Chinese were affected, just some of them.

Is there any change for the language encoding recently? What should I do to resolve the issue?

Please find the attached photo showing the issue. Thank you!

Best Regards, User

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.

I frequently have to toggle on the translate feature to view pages in the country I’m living in. When the translate feature is active, and if I am filling out a web-form, I am unable to leave/minimize the page (say, to go to the notes app to copy and paste an ID number, address, etc), because once I return Firefox blinks and empties the form. I only notice this when translate is on, no other time. So I have to fill out forms in another language or make sure I have all important info literally written on paper to keep from having to leave the app for any reason. Is there a workaround?

Hi All,

I was writing an email, and completed a spell check where I had written "inital" instead of initial. I clicked on replace with Initial as I have done with many errors in the past, but this time the change wasnt made to the text before the email was sent.

Now, whenever I write inital as a test, it is no longer underlined in red and the spell checker is happy with it.

I have checked the personal dictionary list to see if I added it by mistake but its empty. Also, If I choose another english dictionary i.e. English (United Kingdom) it is once again recognised as a typo.

Is there a way for me to remove and reinstall the Australian English dictionary, or is there an easier solution I can try?

I am a relative newcomer to Linux but can follow terminal directions if provided. Thanks for your help!

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.

I have noted (finally) that Firefox is setting not just Language but units and currency based on the Language.

So, of the choices available - UK English is the nearest in terms of Language and spelling. However it's not my currency and despite being "technically" metric are not.

US English uses a currency that is not mine (but pretends to be), spelling that is not mine and does not even use Imperial units but some Elizabethan hybrid.

Canada manages to take the language from one and the units of the other.

No other Language English XX are offered.

Can I have Australian English - New Zealand or Singapore would be fine.

Using either Firefox or Edge I still only get espanol.Yahoo.com instead of just Yahoo.com. What do I need to change on my computer?
