voikko / mozvoikko Goto Github PK

When mozvoikko extension is enabled and Voikko libraries are in place Thunderbird still doesn't list Finnish language in dropdown menu of Spell checking languages. It doesn't list it in spell checking settings (Edit => Preferences => Composition => Spelling => "Language:") or in language list of compose window (Spelling button "arrow" in toolbar). But now the weird part: Thunderbird lists Finnish if I press Spelling button in composer window's toolbar and then select Finnish from "Language:" dropdown menu from the popup window. Then the "spellcheck as I type" works as well.

Here are some screenshots of this issue:

Any idea why this happens? Is there any way to fix this? I want to save Finnish as spell checking default language but it's not possible because I cannot select Finnish from preferences. BTW: Firefox works as expected.

EDIT: It doesn't help if I put "fi" or "fi-FI" manually in user profile's prefs.js: user_pref("spellchecker.dictionary", "fi"); => Thunderbird will change it back to default "en-US".

after restart of Firefox on Ubuntu, I got message that mozvoikko 2.0.1 is disabled. Mozilla gives way to workaround it temporarily at my own risk, but they also provide hints what to do for developers - Developers: To learn more about add-on signing guidelines, see Signing and distributing your add-on and Review Policies at Mozilla Developer Network.

Finnish spellchecker (2.0.3.rc3) extension crashes 64-bit Firefox and the browser can't be started. Disabling the addon allows the browser to start up normally. I've tested this on the both beta and nightly builds and on several releases.
I'm on Windows 8.1 64-bit.

This should be fixed before the 64-bit build is officially released.

This add-on will stop working in Firefox 57 (November 14) because Firefox will only support WebExtension APIs. WebExtensions can still call out to native code, like the Voikko DLLs, using the Native Messaging API.

Having this plugin activated crashes 64-bit Firefox at start on Windows 10.
