Hello ! Sorry for my delay !

Dear this add-on do not working on my Firefox version 90.0.2 installed from official repositories of my Fedora 34 X64 Cinnamon edition ! I tried multiple pages each of them support different languages .... What ever I changed language, it will remain sticky on default Firefox built-in setting which is currently en-US (1st choice). I'm Arabic tongue. I'm already added "Arabic" (ar) to my Firefox built-in setting. Language displacement priorities are:

en-Us
en
ar

I'm already added "Arabic" to the add on, so that it's code is:
ar,en-US,en

I tested:
https://aliexpress.com
https://www.france24.com
https://www.bbc.com
& many other sites with same failure result ! When I set to "Arabic" the page will appear in English (even after restarting my Firefox) !

I tried "French" with same error.

Kindly, re-open this issue & investigate about it.

I'll check with the pages you suggested.

Did you try with just the Firefox language settings already (move "ar" to the top). Does it work then?

Oh. Forgot to ask: Do you use "private browsing mode" and if so: Did you allow my Add-on to run there?

Hello !

1. I'm already give your add-on permission to work in private browsing mode,
2. this issue happening in both private & non-private modes,
3. but it seem now that error not in your add-on ! But in the Firefox itself !! I tried to change built-in setting of my Firefox, so that preferred page language set 1st to Arabic. But same error happened as if I'm still set on English-US (original 1st choice) ! I tried to set French as 1st choice, but also same error happened & English page opened to me not French !

I'll check as soon as possible but for me it seems like the websites, you mentioned, just don't care about the preferred language sent by the browser.

I tested same pages on my Android Firefox (not installed your add-on on it) & my mobile language setting is on Arabic, but web sites open on English version ! I checked "language" setting of my Android Firefox & it is on system default (which mean Arabic) !

I do not know more. But what I'm very sure from, like that I'm sure from my name, is that all these web sites were behave differently before version 87.0 of Firefox !

It does work with your example https://www.france24.com/

And it will switch to "Arabic" language with the language string "ar,en-US,en". So the functionality works. It just heavily depends on the websites to correctly support it. That's also the main purpose of my Add-on. It is meant for developers to easily check theirs websites for correct language switching based on the browser language.
