The default for a site you haven't visited is to match the language of the document or the edit control. If you change the dictionaries manually, they should be remembered for the site, so this should only be a problem the first time you visit a site.
I think it's worth discussing whether we should change this behaviour when the user has explicitly enabled multiple dictionaries at the same time, but I think that would best be done either in a new bug or maybe one of the existing bugs above. -- 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/662840 Title: Spell checking more than one language in Firefox Status in Mozilla Firefox: Fix Released Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox After upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10 x64 with Firefox 3.6.10 I lost Firefox capability to spell check for multiple languages in text forms. This is very annoying as I use two or three different languages in a single form when composing emails for example, and also switch between tabs/firefox windows to fill out forms in different languages, and now I have to switch between dictionaries back and forth. Never was an issue before. There is a need to set up multiple dictionaries/languages to be used at once for seamless spell check on a text form. Am I missing something?
