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.

English and Spanish. What do you have in mind?

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.
