I installed Firefox 10 because what I was using would not respond. Everything worked fine, except when I compose mail in Yahoo, all words are underlined red. This does not happen w/ Safari. Yahoo was not able to solve this.

No further details beyond my question above, but when I composed this message, all words were undertlined red! Numbers like 100 or times like 10:30 are not underlined!

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 submenu.
  • Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
  • Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.

You can enable or disable spell checking globally:

  • Firefox > Preferences > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"

You can look here for dictionaries:
