When I am on facebook and I misspell a word, correct it using the spell checker, and then submit the comment, the words will revert back to being misspelled. I don't know if this is the same for other sites. Any fixes?

Do the words change or do you only see them tagged as misspelled?

Do you have a dictionary installed and selected?

  • You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.
  • 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:
