1329553 2013-02-23 01:56:00 Ok this is relating to FF on Linux Mint -- when in someplace like these forums, the spell check in FF keeps turning itself Off.

Example: Post a comment in one thread. Go to another thread and Spell check doesn't work. To get it working again you have to right click and re-tick Check Spelling. Looked in the setting and its enabled.

Only does it in Linux/FF, in windows FF its stays on all the time.

Any know of a way to keep it turned on in Linux ? :confused:

1329554 2013-02-23 03:33:00 I assume their is a dictionary addon for it to work with? gary67 (56)
1329555 2013-02-23 04:50:00 Yep both English USA & English NZ.

On FF now in windows, and the Spell check works Fine.

Only on the Linux/FF does it turn it self off - if I right click have to turn it back on ( its unticked) then it works OK until I go to some other post or site.

looked on quite a few FF help sites and cant actually find anything relating to the actions - plenty about getting Spell check to work, not turning off by itself all the time - Weird

1329556 2013-02-24 03:08:00 Well, it is clearly not working on this thread - inconsistant (?) :) I was also going to point out "their" but of course that is spelled correctly, just used wrongly. [/PEDANTRY] Tony (4941)
1329557 2013-02-24 07:27:00 Have you tried setting to U K English, that is what works for me, as they do not have a discrete N Z English spell check. PENTIUM (426)
1329558 2013-02-24 22:44:00 *inconsistent :p

(Hence this thread, I know)

Sorry.

1329559 2013-02-25 02:08:00 Now this get stranger and stranger - its now working. Don't ask me how or why, but I forgot to turn this PC off last night, and somehow the little fix it guys must have come in and fixed the problem, Spell check is now holding and working.

Didn't install anything, didn't touch anything. :) :confused:
