I want to use the British English dictionary add on "Marco Pinto" from David Bartlett for Firefox. The instructions tell me to do this: "right click in a multi-line text box, select 'languages and then "English/UK." WHERE do I find a multi-line text box in order to enable the dictionary? I haven't a clue what that means.

With a multi-line text box is meant a text area like used for the editor on this forum where you type the reply.

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

The spelling checker is enabled if [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a checkmark.

You can enable or disable spell checking globally:

  • Options/Preferences -> General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"

You can look here for dictionaries:

Note that you need a dictionary and not a language pack that provides string translations for the user interface.

You can check the layout.spellcheckDefault pref on the about:config page.
