spelling check simply doesn't work anywhere... blogs, comments, LinkedIn etc
Even though the option is selected to check spelling as I type, it simply isn't working anywhere... not even in this qestion box (it didn't spot the deliberate mistake in the word 'question!)
I've updated Firefox and it hasn't fixed the problem. ANy ideas please?

Not all locales come with a dictionary installed due to licensing reasons.
If you do not have the en-US locale then check that you have a dictionary installed (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and selected.
You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.
You can 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 has a tick.
You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
- Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"

Thanks for the help cor-el.
I downloaded a British English dictionary and all is now working :-)
Might be worth noting that Firefox updates do seem to affect any add-ons you have from previous versions? It can't be right that we lose spell-checking etc every time there is an update?
