I'm having three issues: spellcheck goes off, lastpass not working on all sites, and message boards not working correctly

I'm having three issues with Firefox. I had the latest 10.1, and I just tried Aurora, but that didn't solve my issues.

1) Spell checker keeps going off on messages boards. This happens frequently on 247 sports boards. I enable spell check, make a post, and it's off again when I make another post. 2) On the same 247 board, when I make a post (by clicking the "post reply" button, nothing happens. To get it working I actually have to quit the site and go back in. 3) LastPass plugin is no longer working on all sites. Site like Facebook and Yahoo all of a sudden Lastpass doesn't recognize as having usable fields.

Hi,

Please check if this happens in a new profile. If it's okay, you can later copy the needed personal data from the old profile. Firefox stores your personal data and settings in another location separate from its files/folder. A new profile would have the default Firefox settings (Tools (Alt + T) > Options, and about:config ), and usually would also be empty of any Extensions and themes (Appearance) in Tools > Add-ons) and their settings. Also, a new profile would have no previous stored website data/settings etc., (Tools > Clear Recent History).

Thanks for the reply. I tried it, and the check spelling is still not working correctly. Lastpass not working on all sites was fixed by Lastpass with an update--that was their issue. The spelling thing, though, drives me crazy. Here's the site I've had the most issues with

http://michiganstate.247sports.com/Board/Michigan-State-Spartans-Message-Board-Forum-93

I'm posting there a lot as it's NCAA tourney time. I have spell check enabled, and I make one post and spell check is working. The next post, it isn't.

I've tried totally uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling, but some settings stayed from the original install, so I'm missing something on a complete uninstall. I followed instructions to search for the prefs folder and delete, but something is sticking around. One time, I had a problem and did a complete uninstall, and it seems like I had to edit the registry--that worked. So, if there's a way to do a COMPLETE uninstall, I'm listening.

Again, thanks. I really don't like Chrome, but that is working for me. I'd MUCH rather use Firefox.

When right-clicking, under Languages, is it the correct language??

Yes, the language is English.

It would be English / United States for the en-US version. If it is not English / United States, you can try to install the dictionary.
