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':
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/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.
