I have firefox 42.0 and the spell check is not working. Incorrectly spelt words are no longer underlined in red. This has been the case since I downloaded this version of firefox a few weeks ago. I checked under preferences and the spell check is definitely enabled.

Do you have a dictionary installed and selected?

You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu. At least one dictionary should be installed and have a check mark to indicate that it is selected.

  • Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.

The spelling checker is enabled if [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a checkmark.

You can enable or disable spell checking globally:

  • Firefox > Preferences > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"
