Spellcheck
I have the following box checked in Firefox and Thunderbird but spellcheck does not work.
"Check your spelling as you type"
I have tried everything that I can think of. It used to work but and update apparently disabled it even though it is checked.

Do you have a dictionary installed and selected?
You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages sub menu. 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.
The spelling checker is enabled if [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a checkmark.
You can look here for dictionaries:
Note that for spell checking you need a dictionary and not a language pack.
