◆Improved translation function
Firefox's translation function is executed locally, and data such as text is not sent to the Internet, so it is possible to translate while preserving privacy. Fixed an issue in Firefox 122 where some content would disappear or interactive widgets would break when translated.
When you display a page that supports translation, a translation mark button will appear on the right side of the address bar. You can translate the page by clicking this button, but translation into Japanese is still not supported.
◆Line break rules changed to match Unicode standard
Line breaking rules for web content now match the Unicode standard, improving line breaking compatibility with other browsers. Additionally, the accuracy of word selection has been improved when double-clicking text in East Asian and Southeast Asian languages such as Japanese, Chinese, Burmese, Lao, Khmer, and Thai.
