Firefox spell checker not working.

**stroyal** · March 16th, 2012, 05:53 AM

Now that i realize, that spell check, isn't a TechIMO function, I'm starting a new post.

It stopped working in FF 10.0.2, so I upgraded to 11.0, and it worked again.

I tried it a couple of hours later, and now 11.0 is not working,

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10.
Spell checker still works in Chromium.

Have to ask if you verified that spell check is enabled in Tools->Options?

Yes it is, and when I right click text, spell check has a check mark next to it, in the drop down box.

I haven't checked to see if they are the same setting, but they both say enabled.

Try a creating a new profile and see if it works there

Profile Manager - MozillaZine Knowledge Base

Just open the old profile and export them, then import them to the new one or use the sync option

Still learning where these files are in Linux
I already restored it from a windows backup, but I also found the problem.

When you right click, the language tab didn't have the kind of English selected.
