Spell check where are you? Come to mother dear! I want you right now!
I downloaded Firefox on the great advice of my friends and I still cannot find where to activate spell check. I cannot find preferences to click on check my spelling. Am so 
. sorry but can anyone tell me exactly where to find the tab of firefox on the screen and guide me from there? I'm not getting the promised red line under a misppeleed word and I need it so badly. It is supposed to be built in!

It is supposed to be, but I don't know why it isn't. I did a quick search for add on's for spellchecker and it's the first one on the page! I hope this helps!

I feel so bad that it didn't come automatically with firefox for you!

I hope it works! The link I posted looked funny to me, as if it wasn't complete, so I hope the link works!

No it is not working. I am. doing something wrong - I will have to get my son to come in and sort it out. Ther is nothing wrong witht he info you gave me and I di receive a confirmation that it had been added as an addon. Now - I feel to give the whole thing a big miss and truy and figure it out in the morning. Everyone has been so kind bit I cannot make it work. No red lines just a red rage in my head at my stupidity!

I found this:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+the+spell+checker
Note: Automatic spell-checking is only turned on for text boxes containing more than one line, where you can enter as much text as you want.
Not very helpful. It only tells you how to disable spell check, but not how to enable it. hmmm....

My Firefox does it automatically when I typing responses here at MyLot. It should do it for you too. I never had to turn it on or anything.

It does for me too. I'm just perplexed as to why Cynthia is having problems

I sure wish I could help you with this but I do not know much about Firefox at all. I use internet explorer. I tried to use Firefox but it did not work well with my computer at all. I hope someone here can help.

It does automatically for me too, strange why it isn't working for you. The line is too faint sometimes we tend not to notice. Hope you get what firefox is meant for.
