English (not American) spell check

Post by joli »

I'm using Firefox 54 and would like my spelling to be checked in English rather than American. This used to work but now no more. I have Add-ons
British English Dictionary R1.19 and
British English Dictionary (Marco Pinto)
installed but still it is using American to check my spelling. What do I have to do to check English spelling?

Do you have the English (British) version installed? https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

Ah, thanks I wasn't aware of the separate download. Unfortunately Firefox Help .. about doesn't give information about the language. In the days gone by I seem to recall there were spell check add-ons which managed the difference between American and English spelling.

Thanks for your help - the download you suggested solved the problem.
