I don't need 2 spell checks, and when I send an e-mail, I can not get the red line to go away. Some of the words are not misspelled. Thank you!

Chosen solution

To turn off Spell Checking in Firefox:

In the Options window , on the Advanced panel, untick 'Check my spelling as I type'.

If the spell check is correcting a number words that aren't misspelled, it's possible that it's not using the correct dictionary. If you right-click in an area that you can type in, you should see a 'Check Spelling' menu item and below that a 'Languages' menu. Check in the Languages menu that the correct language is selected.
