data. Select Tools > Clear Private Data or press Ctrl + Shift + Del and choose which

Language Preferences for Web Sites
When sending a request to a Web server, the browser always sends the information,
which languages are preferred by the user. Web sites that are available in more than
one language and are configured to evaluate this language parameter will display their
pages in the language the browser requests. On SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop the
preferred language is preconfigured to use the same language as the desktop. To change
this setting, open the Preferences window as described in
Section 18.6.1, "Preferences"
(page 191), go to the Content tab and Choose your preferred language.
Spell Checking
When typing into multiple line input fields, Firefox by default spell-checks what you
type. Misspelled words are underlined red. To correct a word, right-click it and choose
the correct spelling from the context menu. You may also add the word to the dictionary
if it is correct.
To change or add a dictionary, right-click anywhere into a multi-line input field and
choose the appropriate option from the context menu. You may also disable spell-
checking for this input field here. If you want to globally disable spell checking, open
the Preferences window as described in
Section 18.6.1, "Preferences"
(page 191) and
go to the Advanced tab. Uncheck Check My Spelling As I Type.
18.6.2 Add-ons

the download manager or tabbed browsing), or add functions such as a blog editor, Bit
Torrent support or even a music player. Certain extensions also assist Web developers
while others increase security by dynamically blocking active contents. More than 5000
