This has nothing to do with the spelling checker.
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.
<ul><li>open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
</li></ul>
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:
<ul><li>Options/Preferences -&gt; General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"
</li></ul>
You can look here for dictionaries:
<ul><li><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/language-tools/" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/language-tools/</a>
</li></ul>
Note that you need a dictionary and not a language pack (string translations for the user interface).
You can check the layout.spellcheckDefault pref on the <b>about:config</b> page.
You can reset the layout.spellcheckDefault pref via the right-click context menu.
