I think I somehow turned the spell check off on my Firefox. How can I turn it back on?
The little red squiggly lines aren’t coming up under misspelled words… I thought it was just on Fluther but it’s happening on Facebook too! Help?

I just found a reference to this issue:
Firefox Enable Internal Spell Checker Source
“I occasionally find a problem with Firefox where it will stop spell checking all fields. It’s a small bug, but it’s easily fixed.
Firstly, make sure you have spell checking on:
Tools > Options > Advanced > Check my spelling as I type
If that is checked then uncheck it and restart the browser, then recheck it and again restart the browser – if the spell check still doesn’t work, then once again uncheck the option, then enter about:config in the address bar.
Search for Layout.spellcheckDefault and change the setting from 0 to 1 to enable spell checking in all <textarea> fields, or make the value 2 to enable spell checking in all text input fields.”
Give it a try and let us know how it works.
@worriedguy : it’s still not working :( I followed all of that a few times… maybe i’ll give it a try later and restart my browser (I have too many things open right now!) ... thank you!
all fixed, finally just restarted the browser… after making those changes!! thanks!
