Dee,

See How do I use the Firefox spell checker? and make sure you have spellchecking enabled and a dictionary is installed.

From the Advanced panel - Accessibility, browsing, network, updates, and other advanced settings in Firefox article:


  • Check my spelling as I type: When this preference is enabled, Firefox will check your spelling and offer possible corrections as you type in web forms. Note that you may need to download a dictionary; to do so, right-click on any text field, enable spellchecking if necessary, and then use the provided Languages menu to download a dictionary.

en-GB versions of Firefox don't come with a spell check dictionary (licensing issues, Mozilla says) .

Install it from here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:3
