Spell checking working only in English language.
Hello all,
When I'm using my Firefox browser spell checking is working only with English language. Polish is my native language and I want use this function to Polish as well and set Polish as my default language. I tried to adding/removing other languages than Polish from options, setting higher priority to Polish language, how ever I have no result with that. Please help, will highly appreciate. Thanks in advance.
Best Regards, Adrian

It is possible that you confused dictionary with language pack or with the preferred language for webpages and that you do not have a dictionary installed.
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 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 look here for dictionaries:
Note that for spell check you need a dictionary.
A language pack provides string translations for the user interface.

Only a few language locals come with a dictionary due to licensing reasons like en-US and perhaps french version?
