"Note: When I installed the spellchecker and additional dictionaries, Mozilla kept crashing after selecting a dictionary. When you open the spellchecker the first time after the installation, the drop-down box for the dictionary selection shows "Download More". Select any installed language and press the "Close" button, thereby closing the spellchecker dialog. Now, press the "Spell" button again, and the language you chose in the previous step is now selected. At this point, you can easily change the language and spellcheck without crashing Mozilla. Apparently, the spellchecker is in some misconfiguration during first start-up (and every time the "Download More" option is selected). Pressing a button other than "Close" in this situation crashes Mozilla." Hope this helps! -- ~ Gloria ~
