On firefox the spell check feature is ticked, but it doesn't have a red underline underneath when a word is incorrect, any idea why this isn't working? Thanks

I see that you have the English-GB version of Firefox, that version does not include a dictionary. You can install the British English dictionary from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3366/

Yes only the en-US and I believe the Français version does now also include a dictionary.
