Ever since Firefox 11 got installed, the spell check feature is acting strangely on Google's gmail pages. If spell check is selected, it still underlines all or most words in English when typing a message. Disabling it is the only way to stop the problem.

Thanks for the assistance. It turns out the language setting was incorrect.

Try to start Firefox in Safe mode. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works find in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.
