Firefox automatically checks your spelling as you type. Learn about the options available like adding dictionaries and removing a word added by accident.

Firefox automatically checks the spelling of words that you enter in text boxes containing more than one line. As soon as you finish typing a word, it is checked against the words in the installed dictionary. If the word is not found in the dictionary, it will be underlined in red, as in the following example: [[Image:05675f3d603e2607555817580ba1c0c2-1271792700-577-1.png]] {note}'''Note:''' * Automatic spell-checking is only turned on for text boxes containing '''more than one line''', where you can enter as much text as you want. * Not all locales come with a dictionary installed due to licensing reasons.{/note} __TOC__ = Disabling automatic spell-checking = By default, Firefox is configured to automatically check spelling.
