My Firefox Spell Checker has disappeared over the past few months, and now it really annoys me - especially when I mis-spell some words and don't even realize it. The sad thing is, I have:

- Completely un-installed it, even in the Registry;
- Looked on every setting;
- Checked in my config (see below):

about:config wrote:

layout.spellcheckDefault [Default] (integer) "1"
extensions.spellcheck.inline.max-misspellings [Default] (integer) "500"
Any ideas? This is driving me crazy!

Added a new line, which both a Jamesey and Titch had:

about:config wrote:

spellchecker.dictionary [User Set] (string) "en-US"
.. and still nothing! Also tried "en-GB"

- kyle.

Edit - Generally, I spell quite well. One of the cons of typing very quickly is that I will type things like "teh" instead of "the" etc, hence the importance!

It is one of the few bad things about Firefox, its useless.
Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

maybe you somehow manage to loose your english dictionary.
Try installing it again

When/where/how does the Firefox spell-checker work?

I know I've seen a 'auto-spell-check' option and it is selected, but I've never seen the spell checker do anything...

(and my spelling isn't that good)

Yea, it happened to me the other day. As stated above you need to download the English dictionary.

Nope, don't get that.

Do I have the same problem as OP? (except mine has never worked)
