Searched on Google and not found much about this but are other Firefox users having problems with Google toolbar ABC spell checker .
I have uninstalled the Google bar and re installed it but still no better

I have not got a many add ons on Firefox

Thanks for any help

I have just had a similar problem with firefox 3.5.1. My spell checker was not working when filling out web forms etc. Although I do not use the google type spell checker.

I cured my problem by adding a british english dictionary firefox add on

You should be aware that some of those dictionaries carry an American bias in the words they select ie: colour\color so if you use them, be aware that they may select words as incorrectly spelt in the USA as they're correctly spelt for the UK.

This add on is a British English version and does not appear to have any American spelling bias.

Just to add, if it does underline a word that is correctly spelled, right click then 'add to dictionary'.
