I changed to firefox because I wanted spell checker. After updating to 4.0.1 this no longer works. I cant find a version that does work with the new firefox. Is it time i went back to explorer?

Do you have the English (GB) version of Firefox 4? If you do that one does not include a dictionary, you can install one from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/

Once a dictionary is installed, you should be able to use the spell checker, for more details see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Using+the+spell+checker
