As per title. I can't get spell checking to work. I've reinstalled the latest version with an empty profile but that didn't fix it. Eset virus checker was switched off. The "Check your spelling as you type" flag is set. It's a Windows 11 system. Any clues anyone? Thanks.

What language locale of Firefox did you install? as only a few locales comes with a dictionary due to licensing reasons as en-US is one of the few.

If you do not have a dictionary installed then you can install one from https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/language-tools/
