I'm using the 3.6.10 version of firefox Mac OSX 10.5.8 the spell checker is not working correctly although all the settings needed are correct, the dictionary's installed, the Spell checking is enabled from the “Browsing” section of “General” tab under “Advanced” heading . but still it only underlines the misspelld words without giving me the probabilities of the right word . this problem started to appear after I updated my browser version . additionaly there is no "Add dictionary" or anything related to spell checking when I right-click the writing area .

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

Apparently an add-on is causing this problem .. it works now in the Safe Mode, but next I have to check all my add-ons to know for certain, I'll try and see.. Thanks =)
