I can't find Spellcheck (turn off) in the Customize features. Where else would I turn it off?

Chosen solution

You should find it in Options/Preferences.

You can enable or disable spell checking globally:

  • Options/Preferences -> Advanced: General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"

Type about:config<enter> in the address bar. If a warning screen comes up, press the Be Careful button. At the top of the screen is a search bar.

Type: layout.spellcheckDefault Its values are; 0 Spell Checker Off 1 Check Only Multi-Line Input Boxes. 2 Check Multi And Single Line Input Boxes.

Also, check the spellchecker.dictionary entry.
