Facebook sets the value of <spellchecker.dictionary> to <ru_RU> every time I start entering text (language doesn't matter) in a textbox on FB.

FF: Firefox 20.0 - Mozilla Firefox for Linux Mint OS: Linux Mint 13

I haven't noticed any other website I use causing that problem: all of them use the predefined (in prefs.js) value of <spellchecker.dictionary> and don't change it unless I change the speller language manually. The only way I can change the value of <spellchecker.dictionary> back to <en_US> is manually choosing English in context menu of a textbox, or editing "prefs.js", every time Facebook messes it up.

Why does FB always sets <spellchecker.dictionary> to <ru_RU>???

My default locale is "en-US": <general.useragent.locale> = "en-US".

Please help.

Websites should not be able to change a pref setting.
Only an extension can do this.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

What is the order of the installed languages?

You can check the order of the installed Languages.

Hi cor-el, thanks for advice.

Seems like my Firefox extension "United States English Spellchecker" may have caused that behavior. I disabled it, restarted FF, and -- the problem is gone! Moreover, when I enabled it again, the problem didn't come back, which raises some questions... About installed languages. The thing is, my OS (Linux Mint) has a few preinstalled system-wide spellcheckers, which are also active in FF, in addition to FF own extension spellchecker en_US, which may have complicated the situation. Or, it may be just an extension bug, who knows...

Anyway, thank you a lot! That problem has been bothering me for a while.
