very odd ...indeed ,,,is it checked when you highlight a word ?(the spell checker is marked in left mouse click)


if not check it ...some times when FF updates some of our "user preferences" are lost and must be redone


also if you do not have a dictionary installed for FF it can get a tad fussy ...put one in


....have you tried a "misspelled word" highlight it and check to see if spell check "sees" it?(same as above ..but different..lol)


if it does not you can get an "add-on" spell checker separate at Mozilla ...try that option out if all else fails

You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu. At least one dictionary should be installed and have a check mark to indicate that it is selected.


  • Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
  • Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.

You can enable or disable spell checking globally:


  • Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"
