The promised spell checker with firefox 6.0 does not work.

I updated to 6.0 because I was promised a inbuilt spell checker to replace the one with google toolbar I would be losing. I tried testing it, it did not work. For example. 'mounth' <-- See that, that is being put into a section it should check and it isn't registering. Fix it or better yet set up a mock version of the google toolbar because I tried customising one and it just got painful. Make sure it has a spell check button and a translate button. Spell check button would be better then auto spell check for those of us who are paranoid.

Thanks safebrowser. Didn't realise I would have to add a starting dictionary.
