Favorite Places is in the Bookmarks Manager Can you find it? Press the Alt or F10 key to bring up the tool bar. Then select Bookmarks. Hot key is <Control>(Mac:<Command>) <Shift> B.

SpellChecker

Type about:config<Enter> in the address bar. If a warning screen comes up, press the Be Careful button. This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run. At the top of the screen is a search bar. Type: layout.spellcheckDefault Its values are; 0 Spell Check Off, 1 Check only multi-line input boxes. 2 Check multi and single line input boxes.

Also, check the spellchecker.dictionary entry.
