Today, when trying to send emails, the spell check is stuck on the first word and won't let it send. Can't edit, or go back.

I'm receiving emails as usual. But any attempts to send are stopped at the first mis-spelled word, via the spell check that is enabled. The email is frozen. Any suggestions?

What is your version of TB, and which dictionary, webpage and version, are you using?

more options

The latest - 60.5.3

And the dictionary and version are....

more options

English, United States (I don't see any other identification such as a version #)

Spell check is enabled, while typing and before sending.

I haven't made any changes or changed any settings prior to this problem this morning.

I just turned off spell-check, and now it works. But this is not helpful, I do want to be able to have spell check enabled.

Thank you for any assistance.

You probably have this dictionary installed, but I just tried a slightly newer, webExt version that seems to work (webExt dictionaries work in TB 60.5+).

Right-click the blue Add to Firefox button (or whatever it says in your browser), Save Link As..., and download the file english_united_states_dictionary-60.1webext.xpi (direct link). Then, in TB open Tools/Add-ons/Dictionaries, Remove the EN-US dictionary if it's listed, then click the gear icon next to Search, Install Add-on from file..., select the xpi file.
