WO it's doing it right now in this box as well.

Help! On certain sites, like facebook and Gmail for instance, every word is underlined as if it is mispelled. I can write click and uncheck check spelling, but it just does it right again no matter what. How can I get it to only underline misspelled words

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.
  • 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:

  • Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"

You can look here for dictionaries:
