The en-US dictionary should work with Firefox 19: Works with Firefox 2.0 - 22.0
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.
- Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
- Edit > Preferences > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"

Thanks Cor-el! I have 2 English-North American listed now. I right clicked on the new one I installed because of you and it works great, thanks.
