Never ran into such issue, whether these have anything to do with it; set via user.js on fresh profiles; type about:config in the address bar to search for the preferences, or use second group below to display them directly:

  • intl.accept_languages en-US, en
  • geo.enabled false

… Can also be reached by using the URL directly with the Address Bar:

  • chrome://global/content/config.xhtml?filter=intl.accept_languages
  • chrome://global/content/config.xhtml?filter=geo.enabled

P.S. That about:config link above goes to a support.mozilla.org article, titled: “Configuration Editor for Firefox”. Beware (!) that domain cannot be styled and even with a WebExtension such as Dark Reader the page will be with a glaring white background… Protect your eyes, I’ve no idea why (in the world) Mozilla would be doing this. :confused:

Thanks a lot for this FAQ

thank you for that[!]

Hi MDN, i downloaded the pdf doc of JavaScript which pretty explanatory. How do i find the pdf of React for offline study?

Thank you

Hi @Ibrahim_Bakare :wave:

I’m not aware of a method to generate a PDF of a whole section of MDN. Could you tell me how you did it for JavaScript?

Thanks and have a nice day!

I searched on google and it redirected me to a repo https://github.com/chrisdavidmills/beginning-web.

Thank you

Thanks for the explanation.
That was something Chris built himself many years ago. It isn’t part of MDN itself and Chris doesn’t work for MDN anymore.
The only thing I know (and use) to browse MDN offline is with Zeal, but this only includes the HTML, CSS and JS references and not the learning area.
It would be cool if one could just go to a section a press a button to generate a PDF of all its content.

Check out this https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/MDN/Contribute/Howto

When I use MDN link shown in google search results, it is always annoying to see page displayed in Polish. Most of translated pages are very outdated, missing 90% of the text or are written in english while missing some pieces.
Plugin solution doesn’t exist on Chrome, Language preference cookie solution never pops up, while changing search settings of Accept-Language header would affect rest of the searches too.
Would it be possible to create a feature on developer.mozilla.org, that would make redirections to English be automatic for users that request it?

This sounds like a great feature! I searched on the Yari repo (the platform powering MDN) for any existing issue. I found https://github.com/mdn/yari/issues/3949 from last June and someone created a pull request to automatically redirect when the “preferredlocale” cookie is set. This PR is still open but one of the core devs said in November that this will change with the redesign.

Maybe it would be worth asking there if this is still planned.

Have a nice day,
Michael

Hello @mikoMK do you notice that your comment is dated at mar 2 which it should be around 3 days ago so around 24 april

do you see that or it just me

Yes, it’s from early March, but that’s when I wrote this comment.
Why do you think that I wrote it 3 days ago?

your comment and Niedziolka_Michal was 3 days ago as it show up in the activity in this link
https://discourse.mozilla.org/c/mdn/236

it said 3d and i never check old post unless if a new comment show up on it

before my comment it was even in around 15 post according to this link https://discourse.mozilla.org/c/mdn/236
notice there no order so i was using the default which the latest activity will show up on top

so since you said you get email for each post (not sure if you mean a comment also or not) so if get email for new comment also then could you check your email and see when yo get notified about Niedziolka_Michal comment

Only for newly created topics and I’ve delete my notification emails, but I know what happened: There was a spam message in this thread which bumped it up in the activities. I reported it and when you looked into the topic it was already deleted.

That’s all I know, officer :policeman: :sweat_smile:

officer @mikoMK :joy:
we salute you :joy:
