If you speak multiple languages you have to actively unset an about:config setting? FWIW, as someone who uses two languages, what I've always wanted is that the spellchecker can use multiple dictionaries at once. Quite often when a site accepts text input it's some kind of communication tool. And the communication tool doesn't know what language you use to communicate and the language you use to communicate will not always be the same. -- https://annevankesteren.nl/ _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
