The spell checker isn't working for me. I've found old answers to this:
"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 enable or disable spell checking globally:
Options/Preferences -> General: Language and Appearance: "Check your spelling as you type"
You can look here for dictionaries:

Note that for spell check you need a dictionary. A language pack provides string translations for the user interface.

You can check the layout.spellcheckDefault pref on the about:config page.

But I don't understand what most of this means!
I don't find 'language' because I don't know where to find a "text box containing more than one line" I'd have thought this was one, but the option does not come up here when I right click.
I realise this is probably me being dense, but can someone help in simple terms, please? Thanks.
