I can't select multiple languages to spell check. I'm still using Google chrome because of this.

In Firefox you can only select one dictionary at the same time AFAIK, so I'm afraid that what you want is not possible. You can search the Add-ons website to see whether anything suitable comes up.

Looking forward for this in a native manner.

Another bit of information: I'm using Firefox 57 beta, most of the addons is broken.

Re your wish for a multiple language spell checker :

The only add-on I could find is the Dictionary Switcher, but : a) it doesn't look like it will work with Firefox 57+, as the developer hasn't updated his add-on in years, b) the reviews aren't all that good.

But you could try and contact the developer .......

Re your broken add-ons, would you please take a look at this :
