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"

You can look here for dictionaries:

This add-on let you install all add-ons, install it firstly, and then install spell-check.

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.
