Ok, I selected one of the English entries. Now the spell check seems to work.
This is new behaviour for Firefox, language selection was never required in the past. Spell check was on by default upon installation. You will find attached a screenshot of the Add-ons -> Languages for your reference. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot from 2012-06-21 17:48:48.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/989978/+attachment/3199513/+files/Screenshot%20from%202012-06-21%2017%3A48%3A48.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/989978 Title: Firefox spell check does not work Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Default "/Advanced/Check my spelling as I type" setting does not work.
