A bit more information on this bug.
1. A workaround is to force the execution of the following JS code on
every web page:
var defaultLang = 'ru';
// set LANG attribute if missing
var head=document.getElementsByTagName('head').item(0);
var html=document.getElementsByTagName('html').item(0);
var lang = html.getAttribute('xml:lang');
if (lang != '' && lang != null) {
html.lang = lang;
} else if (html.lang == '') {
html.lang = defaultLang;
}
html.lang = html.lang.substr(0, 2);

in-firefox-greasemonkey-script.html)
To do so, you can use Firefox extension 'dotjs':

2. Even then Russian hyphenation works with errors. On many occasions,
hyphen is misplaced one or even two letters from its correct location:
проб-ежал instead of про-бе-жал; трен-ировок instead of тре-ни-ро-вок;
лаге-рь instead of ла-герь, обслуж-ивающего instead of об-слу-жи-ва-ю
-ще-го; палатк-ами instead of па-лат-ка-ми; ск-оростью instead of ско-
ростью, etc.
I have an impression that in Ubuntu 12.04 errors took place almost
always. In Ubuntu 14.10, they constitute about 20% of all occasions.
However, these errors are only found in Ubuntu Firefox. If you download
the vanilla Firefox from mozilla.org and run it using the same profile,
hyphenation is correct.
