Whenever I am on Facebook or in my email or similar places, my typing shows the "incorrect spelling" red squiggly line thing. When I right click to correct EVERY word, it shows word options in Spanish. The options on my Mozilla toolbar show that English is my only language.

You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu. At least one dictionary should be installed and have a check mark to indicate that it is selected.

  • Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
  • Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.

You can enable or disable spell checking globally:

  • Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"

You can look here for dictionaries:
