Spell checking is enabled (i've tried disabling, and re-enabling) however it doesnt spell check anything i type. even right clicking on the text box doesnt give me the option to check spelling.

en-GB doesn't come with a dictionary, you need to install one. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:3

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems --- See also How do I use the Firefox spell checker?
