Before installing Firefox 3, I’ve uninstalled my Firefox 2 to prevent any unforeseen conflict. However, as I use it more, I find something missing.
No one is correcting my spelling mistake anymore! “Aiyo.. Inglish spelling mistake in email and bloc beli paiseh one le..”
So, what has gone wrong? Apparently, the English dictionary was removed; most probably, when I uninstalled the Firefox 2.
“Easy job lo.. dictionary missing ma install it back lo..”
- Right click on any textbox or multi-line text input control (such as Gmail email composition box).
- If no dictionary is installed, you will see the “Add Dictionaries…” option in the right-click context menu. Click on “Add Dictionaries…”, and you will be brought to the Firefox Dictionaries and Language Packs add-ons.
- Just select your preferred spellchecking language, such as English (US), and install the dictionary.
- After restart, spellchecker will start to function in Firefox.
By default, Firefox spellchecker is working on multi-line controls. If you want the spellchecker to work on single-line text field as well, do the following:
- Type about:config in your browser location bar.
- Accept the warning message if prompted.
- Search for layout.spellcheckDefault option, double click on it, and change its value to 2.
