When I load the Facebook page, and click on any text box in facebook (after logging in), my default spellchecker.dictionary setting is changed to ar_SO from en_US, which causes all websites to display red squiggly bars beneath words because it thinks the language has changed.

I have tested this in other textboxes, and they do not appear to cause this change (only Facebook exhibits this behavior). Moreover, I have tested this using SafeMode (Addons disabled) and the issue still persists.

Hi, Please check to clear the cache of all the facebook pages in your history. Then see if this happens still. This is either a website setting or a stored cookie.
