Fire Fox spell checker stopped

[eviljammiedodger]

My fire fox seems to have stopped spell checking.
if i look in the settings its still turned on.

I have been disabling startup programs to get things running smoothly.

any suggestions?

If this might be related to your other two topics on browser problems kindly list which extensions you currently have installed in FireFox as some of them do NOT get along...

I thought so so unistalled everything except

talk back
hug back


I had a previouse problem with firefox resetting everytime i closed the browser, which required me to re name the file "search.sqlite"

This is the artical that helped me fix the problem

***I think it was after this modification that the spell checker stopped***

I have also created a new profile to use.

no joy.

What is hug back? That doesn't come by default with FF.

[eviljammiedodger]

Its a stupid facebook add on. i unistalled it and it hasn't affected it.

Go to about:Config and look in there.

Type "spellcheck" in the filter (Not the search function) and tell me what your values are set to.

Three things came up, the last one was in bold


extensions.spellcheck.inline.max-misspellings  -  Status: Default      Type:integer     Vaule: 500


layout.spellcheckDefault   -    Status:Default      Type:integer       Vaule: 1


spellchecker.dictionary     -     Status: User set   Type : string       Vaule: en-US

I'm out of ideas. Try a reinstall?

So you are saying that you currently have only 2 extensions installed ? ?

How did you remove the others ? ?

[eviljammiedodger]

I entered the add ons section and unistalled them.

I did end a load of start up programs, could that have affected, are there any lexical programs or anything that i utilizes in the spell checking process?

No, it's really a feature that gets loaded when Firefox does. What did you remove?

[eviljammiedodger]

Mouse gestures
Hug back
Autoslide show
BBC news search
and Wiki search

I don't really use any of the add ons

[eviljammiedodger]

and Tab Mix Plus...
which i have since re installed. So that is the only one running atm

[Raptor]

And after what event did it stop working?
