OK... so what's up with the FF spell checker, and why won't it work?

Spell CHecker not working in FF2
It will show me the in correct spelled words, but it does not correct them. when I right click on the incorrectly spelt word it doesn't do anything except give me an option to enable or disable spell checking (it is enabled by the way or else the red line would not show up) but it does not give me options for the correct word. I have reinstalled the dictionary and also downloaded and installed another dictionary as well (canadian english) but still nothing. when I click on languages it does not show anything but gives me an option to add more dictionarys. I can down load and reinstall the dictionarys again but they still do not show up or allow me to correct mistakes. It also gives me the option to add the word but when I click it, nothing happens and the red line stays. it's like it can not find the dictionaries.
I am a terrible speller and I need some sort of spell check as you can tell from the above post.

I have the same problem. I have installed FF2 on my dualboot computer. For English I get the bad spelling underlined but when right clicking there are no options. I tried to install an additional dictionary but it won't work. When right click I get the language selection but it only enables me to download a dictionary and not select the active dictionary.
some notes on my configuration
Dual boot win XP and Ubuntu.
Both OS's have the same FF2 version installed.
I have a shared partition formated as FAT32 (enabling R/W from linux) my FF profile is on the shared partition and is used by both OS FF installation.
On both installation I tried to install the dictionaries but it seems as only English spell errors are underlined but no otitions are given
what may be done to get the speller working?

A number of extensions have recently done a pretty thorough job at botching peoples' right-click context menus. One of the most frequently reported such extension is ODF Reader, but there have also been others. I suggest you first try Firefox safe mode. If it works in safe mode, it is one of your extensions causing the problem. While in safe mode, disable all your extensions. Then return to normal mode and re-enable them one by one until you find the one causing the problem. (If you have lots of extensions, you could re-enable them in groups of three or four to make the process go faster.)
If you still have the problem in safe mode, you likely have some other corruption in your profile. In that case, try these:
clean profile
Migrating_settings_to_a_new_profile

We may have lost the OP, but I think it is the second one (Firefox Google Bookmarks): http://www.rjonna.com/ext/gbookmarks.php
