Despite having right clicked the dictionary of my choice it appears Firefox is automatically changed the dictionary from one language to another, it is using a dictionary contrary to the wishes of my precious setting. Is this a new feature to piss people off? I have just upgraded FF, before the upgrade I never had this problem, The dictionary I wanted always stayed selected.

Why does nobody ever reply to my problem on this FF forum?

The only solution is to only have one dictionary which is limiting.

Why do upgrades of FF make FF worse, surely the idea should be to make things better?

I want to choose what dictionaries I use. I don't want my dictionary to be auto-chosen.

When I select a dictionary I want that dictionary to stay selected until I decide to change it OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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