I've noticed that single line text boxes now no longer have spell checking enabled even when I have layout.spellcheckdefault set to 2. Bizarrely this is not every single line text box. For example the search box on here will correct spelling, google will not but gmail search will. Facebook will also not correct, which is extremely annoying. Wondering if this is a bug or an interesting new feature :|

Not related to your problem but some of your Firefox Plugins are out-dated

  • Update All your Firefox Plugins -> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
  • When Downloading Plugins Update setup files, Remove Checkmark from Downloading other Optional Softwares with your Plugins (e.g. Toolbars, McAfee, Google Chrome, etc.)
