Change the default language in Firefox

I searched forever to change the default language in Firefox (Ubuntu 12.04). I didn’t work until I understood it now. (see my own answer below)

Does anyone know a better way to do this?

  • Go to your firefox language folder. For me, these are usr / lib / firefox / dictionaries.
  • Notice if this is a shortcut, for me it is shortened to .. /../share/hunspell (/ usr / share / hunspell)
  • Back up a folder somewhere (copy it)
  • Go to this folder and delete everything except the language you need. (for me, I saved only en_US *)

This obviously only works if you don't want other languages. After several months, trying to solve this error, I could not think of another way. I hope Mozilla fixes this error soon ...

Here are the command lines

user@user-1015E:/usr/share/hunspell$ sudo rm en_A* user@user-1015E:/usr/share/hunspell$ sudo rm en_C* user@user-1015E:/usr/share/hunspell$ sudo rm en_Z* user@user-1015E:/usr/share/hunspell$ sudo rm en_G*

I managed to set the default spellchecker.dictionary by selecting about:config and setting spellchecker.dictionary .

He believes that the main problem is that when you use only orientation dictionaries for spelling (and there are no dictionaries as a plugin), Firefox does not remember your default settings (is this an error?). At least one dictionary must be installed as a Firefox plugin.
