Ok so built a new PC all setup used Firefox sync to get all my bookmarks over and things seemed to be working well.

Then I noticed that spell checker doesn't work. No red lines, no options when I right click. I've also noticed that keyboard commands no longer work for copy and pasting.

This is only on Firefox I tested on Chrome and Edge and had no issues.

I've googled and nothing comes up that has fixed my issues. Check spelling as you type is ticked.

I'm at a loss here had no issues before now.

Hi! Go to settings, find the "Language"section, check the box-check spelling when typing.

Sorry I thought I included this in my post but seem to have missed it.

I have checked that and it is already ticked.
