I'm using Firefox 35.0.1 and can't get the spellchecker to work. I've checked my settings and I have the option for spellchecker selected but zilch. I've even unchecked it, closed the browser and restarted it but still there's nothing. Can anyone offer any help or advice please?

Hi, you may also need to install a dictionary from here, then restart Firefox. It should now be in your Add-ons under Dictionaries.

Hope that will help.
