You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.
You can 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 has a tick.
You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
- Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"

Thank you for the detail in your reply. Unfortunately, the problem is that Firefox 4 is underlining every word (not just mispelled ones). Adding the appropriate dictionaries don't seem to fix the problem.
This problem resolved itself after I restarted Firefox.
I had this problem also.
Just right click in any text area that you are typing in and select:
LANGUAGES> ADD DICTIONARIES
You will see a dictionary from most languages, just "install" whichever one you require and restart Firefox 4 then.
Happy days :)
