I have two issues with spell checker.

1. It doesnt appear to work on some sites i.e Reddit or even this site as I type

2. When it does work, Google, I don't appear to get an option to select the recommended word

• I am using FF Version 82.0.3
• Spell checker is enabled
• Language pack is installed
• layout.spellcheckDefault is set to 1

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?

Spell check has long been a problem for me. It sometimes works, but most of the time it is not working, or is delayed by several minutes. The option to do spell checking is on. And the fact that it sometimes works indicates that the dictionary is present. This problems has been present for several releases. I am currently on 80.0.1

I know that before computers were common, a typist really strove to be accurate. But now you go for speed, and not accuracy at all. So, my messages tend to have a lot of errors. I cringe when I think of how many messages I typed before I realized that spell check was only occasionally working.

My work-around is to type what I need into my word processor, and then copy/paste into the web site where I want the text.

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

Spell checking doesn't seem to be working in form text inputs, both single and multi-line. I have my language set to English (United Kingdom) and I've also tried setting layout.spellcheckDefault to 2.

When I right click over such a form text input, the context menu has no mention of spelling or languages. I'm in a corporate environment so it's possible they're doing something with the config?

A picture is worth a thousand words. What i can't screenshot is the suggestions for the correct word, which appear to be from a language other than English.

However, as typing here, the problem seems to have gone away. It appears the problem might be FB or something in some way FB connected. Containers perhaps?

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.. :(

Firefox 70.0.1 on Mint Linux 19.2, though this has been going on for several months now with older versions of FF:

Periodically, at unpredictable intervals, Firefox reverts my choice of spellcheck dictionary (English US) to English Australian. In the FF Preferences i don't even have Australian as an option: i have only UK, US, and Canada. Nonetheless, now and then, FF will start marking the word "color" as misspelled, at which point i know that the dictionary has once again been swapped out. Right-clicking the misspelled word and selecting "Languages..." reveals that Australian is always, without exception, the one it's been switched to.

My system-wide language is US English. Nothing, on any of my systems, is configured to use Australian, so FF making this particular choice of dictionaries completely befuddles me.

The "troubleshooting information" which was automatically attached to this post confirms that i don't have Australian English activated in FF.

How do i keep FF from randomly switching dictionaries on me?

Running Win10 64.

Also right-click not showing paste option on many input fields, such as this text box. This problem only in FF, works fine in other apps, Windows Explorer, Edge etc.

Dear support,

The spellcheck hightlights two gramatticaly good and correct words (in Czech language), when a paragraph break is a divider:

Source code (one line ends with `</p>`, the other line begins with no tag): `Inspekční prohlídka</p> Nejpozději za`

Spellcheck error attached as a screenshot. I consider this a false (incorrect) behavior. The two words should not be highlighted (and they are not, when written next to each other with a space between them).

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

Hi, I'm trying to use Firefox to spell check a text written in British English. But as the attached animated gif shows (it can also be viewed online at https://i.imgur.com/9QLMUfE.gif), Firefox refuses to spell check. I add the right dictionary, I check the add-ons, and I check the languages for spell checking, but it still doesn't work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Every time i shutdown Firefox and reopen it the spell checker has to be re-enabled in the context menu. I have uninstalled and deleted the Mozilla folder from appdata and re-installed, but the issue persists. On 63.0.1 Quantum.

Every time I write in another language I have to select the language I am writing in manually to not have everything underlined in red (if the spelling check is not in the corresponding language by chance). I remember I didn't have this problem when I used another browser in the past. Because I would like to continue using Firefox I am trying to solve this problem, but couldn't find a solution so far. Any tips are very welcome. Thanks a lot in advance.

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

When I link to Twitter from a website in Firefox I get presented with a pop-up window "Share a link with your followers ". The spellchecker doesn't work in Firefox 62.00 (Windows 10), but works perfectly under Google Chrome.

Can anyone help?

thanks
