I uncheckd the checked box labled "check spelling as you type" to disable it and it's still showing spellcheck. It's gettingin the way of me typing and being able to spell on my own. It's extremely annoying that I can turn off a featire and the progra will just ingore that I've turened it off. Why is this an actualy problem? why doesn't this button just work? I want it OFF... Please.

It was blocking my message with incorrect guesses as I was writing this and I misspelled things because of it. It is actually making me mispell things MORE not less.

I totally get how frustrating that is! Sometimes Firefox doesn’t immediately apply the setting, or an extension can override it. One thing that often helps is restarting the browser after unchecking “Check spelling as you type.” Also, check if any language or add-on settings are forcing spellcheck back on. It shouldn’t ignore your preference, but a quick restart usually fixes it.
