Hi Elin,
Firstly, can you check the popup menu when you right-click in a text box? You should have these 2 lines
- Check Spelling (if it is activated, there is a tick in a blue square on the left)
- Languages (if you move your mouse on it, you get the list on installed languages and the function Add Dictionaries)
Nicely said, Banban.
Does this only happen with Gmail or also in a text area on forums like this forum?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
