Firefox 技術支援討論區

Hi

I have enabled firefox to check my spelling and downloaded and enabled the english GB dictionary but spell check is still not working, i have also set layout.spellcheckDefault to 2 as recommended and made sure the settings stick after a restart and still no progress. I can't even get the languages option to apear in the context menu for this post, (images attached)

Any ideas?

I have the UK dictionary and language pack installed and on some websites the spellcheck works (like in this form!), but on outlook.office.com it behaves weirdly. When I just open an email it works briefly but then stops highlighting errors and the check spelling and dictionary selection disappear from the right-click menu.

This is bad because for professional emails, I need the spell checker...

I have attached images of examples when it works and when it doesn't.

Many thanks,

Rens

Hi

I have read all the solutions suggested for helping solve problem with spelling checker tried a fix but to no help.

Here is the problem, when i right click the mouse to get access to language for spell checking, I do not get the alternatives that include selection of language. This happens in the text area but not in the address area where I can see the option of selecting the language and hence even being able to spell check.

I have tried selecting the language in Outlook, gmail, creating a post in LinkedIn and elsewhere and all I get is nothing.

Incidentally, writing here was ok without any issues.

So, friends out there, please help me solve this one

kind regards

Edward

Hi, I've read through the other questions and none seem to solve my problem.

I cannot get spell check to work. • I have a dictionary installed (British - Marco Pinto) • I have the English GB language pack. • I've checked config settings and it is marked as true • I have the tick box enabled in settings under Language.

When I right click on text I do not get the language option or Check spelling option. I've tried disabling, re-enabling. Uninstalling and re-installing with no luck.. :(

Hi, I'm trying to get the en-GB dictionary to silently install (for network deployment) into firefox, I've got the dictionary xpi, it's file name is ID, and it's dropped into the extensions folder. Firefox detects it and after changing the autoenablescope setting, it is automatically enabled within FF. However it is not actually active and working as it should (no spellcheck or underlining). By installing through the normal add-ons page it does work, of course. But not when installed and activated the silent way.

Any help would be appreciated.

Using FF 63.0.3 (64-bit)

Last few days Spell Checker hasn't worked on any pages. "As you type" selected & both English dictionaries available. Tried both English (United Kingdom) [en-gb] and English [en] Sites such as Facebook etc auto correct works fine when using Opera (for example) but I prefer FF

I've been using Firefox Quantum for over a month now on Ubuntu 18.04. However, the extensions Grammarly and LastPass which I need the most do not work as expected. LastPass does not automatically sign in nor does the overlay interface work. I have to right-click on the extension button everytime and launch lastpass in a separate window to Sign in. Nor do I get a prompt to save the password when I create a user account on a website.

Next, Grammarly fails to work - and when it works, Firefox notifies that this extension is causing slowdowns, why?

I tried to restart the computer. I did not work. Several websties give me "error" or other sighs in opening the website, but I was able to open with Google Chrome with out any probleds. When I used outlook, all the letters are with red dots as they were all mispelled. Please let me know how to fix it. New I have to use Google Chrome.

Thanks,

William

I've had Firefox installed for months, but this weekend the spell checker/auto correct (red squiggly lines under the words I spell wrong), has stopped working. I haven't installed any new plugins/add ons or changed anything in Firefox.

I've even completely re-installed Firefox this morning in the hope to solve the problem - no luck.

I'm on Mac OSX High Sierra (10.13.6).

The tick box to check my spelling as I type is checked.

Screenshot shows I have my correct language selected.

I'm all out of ideas - please help :D

I've installed the British English Dictionary and Language pack. They are confirmed as active in Add-on Manager. Using the latest version of Firefox at present. Version 61.0. Checking for updates from About finds no newer version.

Yet, still Firefox insists on trying to make everything American English. How can I stop it doing that?

Is the only way to completely remove it and start again from the beginning?

Windows 10.

I have noticed that Firefox spell check sometimes doesn't detect simple mistakes that you would think it would be easier for it to suggest the right word.

Examples:

"Mistery" it suggests Mister, Mister y, Misery, Misters and Mastery but it doesn't suggest Mystery

also in words like

"Dissapear" it just suggests Dispensary and no Disappear

Is there anything that needs to be fixed on the way the spell check works or what?

It seems a bit rude to report this as a "bug" on bugtracker, and I suspect there is a different mechanism for discussing words for inclusion/exclusion in the default dictionary. But my google fu is failing me in this instance. At any rate, "unbeknownst" is not considered valid by the dictionary in my 58.0.2 Firefox build (on Ubuntu if that makes any difference). Seems to be a valid adjective of "unbeknown" according to Merriam Webster. Please let me know where this should be reported/discussed.

The language "English/UK [en-gb]" has American spellings of some words

An example would be "criticised" which shows up as incorrect with a suggested spelling of "criticized" which is not the British spelling of the word.

Hi, according to that article ( https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-firefox-spell-checker#w_correcting-misspelled-words ) "Note: Added words apply to all your dictionaries." But if I add let's say "Cronocrímenes" and then I write "Cronocrimenes" after adding it to my dic., if I right click the first, correct spell, it is not suggested. Is it normal?

I want to know if there is some kind of addon that allows as in Chrome Internet check. S if I write an actor or director's name the wrong way, let's say "Hitchock", the addon tell me the correct way. Regards.

When users write our brand on various websites, forums etc..., many users misspell it. We would like to add that word in dictionary, to be available for everyone and spell checker to suggest the right word. Is that possible?

Incluso luego de seguir todos los pasos que encontré en el foro de ayuda, como dar click en la parte de configuraciones, de desinstalar y volver a instalar, o inclusive sumar otro diccionario en la parte de lenguaje. Mi autocorrector no está funcionando.

The spell checker on Firefox tells me that my US spelling (with a US setting) is incorrect with British alternatives. If I type anything that has a different British spelling, the spell checker highlights the word. When I check for corrections, they are all British spellings of the same word. When I try to change the setting to see if it has become flipped, I can't get the menu of options. I'm using Ubuntu 16.10 on a HP Pavilion DV6500 with a full boot.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Good evening.

The link you provided to my earlier query did not answer my question. Your instructions state that 'Firefox automatically checks the spelling of words that you enter...' spell check does not function automatically for me (on my PC with W10) and there is no explanation as to how to make it work? Although my computer shows FF as being my default browser, maybe there is a problem here and this is not actually the case? Perhaps the automatic spell check only works if FF has been correctly set as default browser?

Please help me confirm that FF is my default browser and more importantly to get the spell check operational.

With thanks, Anthony
