Most of time I write mixed language content so I have to constantly switch dictionaries and it's kinda annoying . Is there a way to use two dictionaries at the same time or just merge them in one ?

There is or was the option of using the "Dictionary Switcher" Extension. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/dictionary-switcher/

I say was as it is not compatible with Firefox 57.0 and later Releases and you should not use a old vulnerable version just to use this.

Thank you. It's not supported in Quantum, however the extension seems to only operate in the language given by the context. So I guess ( and I'm just guessing) if I select a full page of mixed language text it won't work. Or would explode.
