So, I recently updated Thunderbird and I appear to have lost the Spell check as you type feature. By 'doesn't work' I mean; The incorrectly spelled word is underlined, but a right click shows; No Spelling Suggestion (which kind of suggested the feature can't find or isn't reading the dictionary)

I have done multiple things to try to get it to work.

I have checked I have the English Language Pack installed in Add-ons> Language I have check I have an English dictionary installed in Add-ons > Dictionary. (I have uninstalled the above and re-installed them too, including, shutting down Thunderbird in between)

I have unchecked the "Enable spell check as you type" in Settings > Composition, restarted Thunderbird and then re-checked it.

Quite by chance, while I was typing this, I added an Add-on called "Easy Table Editor by Cardella" And whilst testing it, I noticed the Spell Check as you Type worked in the Pop-up window and continued to work inside the inserted table in the compose window. NOTE: Text outside the table, still does NOT work.

Whilst playing around, I also used a Text Highlighter tool (TextMarker) and amazingly, text that has been highlighted, also seems to work with Spell Check as you Type.

I then deleted everything (Ctrl A) Delete. And any text I type, now responds correctly to the Spell Check as you Type.

So, something in the thml code seems to be disrupting the code?

I deleted this line and it works

For a long time I've been using ublock origin to block parts of emails and RSS feeds to make them more readable. This is not so much to block ads as to block parts that make it hard for me to read things. I am partially sighted. Flashing text etc. is very hard for me.

Now the extension loads but the element hiding part doesn't work on either emails or RSS feeds. I click on it but it no longer selects any part of the emails or feeds.

Why is this and what other options are there?

It still works on Firefox.

Hello, I am trying to add extensions from addon.mozilla.org, and any one that I click "Add to Firefox" shows this error code:

"Installation aborted because the add-on appears to be corrupt."

A few months ago, I was able to run extensions no problem (For the ad blocker) until my Firefox application updated automatically and it no longer works. My Firefox continues to update automatically since then and I am not able to use any extensions unfortunately.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been having to use Edge in the meantime, but I would prefer to use Firefox.

Thanks, Ethan

Hi, I was excited for the AdBlock feature on the iOS version of Firefox only for it to not be present in my browser settings. I am not sure why, is it because of my iOS version because I do not wish to update to the latest.

Hey there!

I keep seeing this feature mentioned, but I don't have it on my App and I'm running the latest iOS Firefox release. Is it a phased rollout?

Thanks! --Brian
