Hi !
Type in the adress bar about:config
(promise to be careful, if asked)
Type and look for the preference :
layout.spellcheckDefault
and you can set it's value to either :
Spell Checker Off : 0 (zero)
Check Only Multi-Line Input Boxes : 1
Check Multi and Single Line Input Boxes : 2
You could also check the spellchecker.dictionary
Some websites use their own spellchecker. Check your options on Yahoo.
Did you right-click in the editor area to see whether "check Spelling" has a checkmark and that a dictionary is selected?
Thanks for all your help so far, I tied the 'config' and that was set correctly. Yahoo does not have its own dictionary/spell check as far as my research tells me and the ABC and right click options do not appear. Therefore I have gone to Chrome for the time being but will keep everyone up to speed as I suspect it will just start again as quickly as it stopped!
Dont't know if it will help, but I found this article :

And maybe, just to make absolutely sure that you haven't overlooked anything, you'd like to go over this article (again) :
