When in Firefox the browser has it's own spell check facility signified by a green tick underneath the letters ABC.

Look at your Firefox browser. In the bottom line there are a series of icons. Look where it says "check". Click on that as that is the spell checker.

When I look at the bottom left, all I see is "Done" signalling the page has loaded. I swear there's no box and I just installed the latest version to make sure. I went to toole, toolbar and added the toolbar, and found spell check, but that's different.

I remember typing something wriong and a red line appeared as I typed, but with spell check, I have to stop, select what I typed and then correct the spelling.

I'd love to figure out how 2 get the red liner to appear under mis-spelt words like it did before.

Thanks,

Perhaps your version doesn't do that? Mine has just been updated and I still get the little red lines under the mis-spelt words.
