My spell checker is not working. I have the dictionary installed, and the box that says 'check spelling' checked, the dictionary for English is chosen. The little red line shows up, but it won't give me options for the misspelled word. The only site that spell checker works on is Kaiser, it will not work here, or facebook, or gaia or solia or youtube, you get it. Please please! Help me, I've tried updating, reinstalling everything!

Try to start Firefox in Safe mode. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works fine in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker.

Yup, was my multi-links extension. Thanks a bunch, I'd rather spell correctly than select more than one link at a time. :)
