Are you sure you installed it from https://addons.thunderbird.net/thunderbird/addon/grammar-and-spell-checker/? The screenshot mentions "This website", so it looks you installed the browser extension instead of the Thunderbird one?
@danielnaber Yes, I installed it from there. Just reinstalled it again but it doesn't work.
Which version of TB do you use? Do you write HTML or plain text email, does it fail for both types? Also, could you send a larger screenshot that also shows some part of the email text that doesn't get checked?
My TB version is 115.12.2. It happens in both email types, HTML and plain text.
Please make sure you're installing the add-on from within TB, i.e. clicking the cog wheel icon, then "Add-ons and Themes". If that doesn't help, I'm running out of ideas.
@danielnaber I installed it directly within TB. Do you have a macOS test device, or do you know someone in the community which is using TB with LanguageTool on macOS? I would be interested in other macOS users, since I don't think that this happens only to me.
I can ask a colleague on Monday. Until then, can you open Tools -> Developer Tools and see what the output of navigator.userAgent
in the console is?
@danielnaber The output is "Thunderbird".
The output is "Thunderbird".
That's the issue. We expect "Thunderbird/" followed by a version number. Maybe you or an add-on manually modified the user agent in the past. If you reset it (should be possible in TB's advanced config dialog), LT should start working again.
@danielnaber Oh, you are right. To be honest, I don't remember exactly why I did this, but resetting the user agent fixed the problem.
I recently switched from my Windows to macOS and installed Thunderbird there. However, the LanguageTool extension does not work. I can see it in the top right, so it's installed, but it does not check the text.![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/286668e7-caf2-4b19-9a7b-0c6494b104b9)
