This addon is only for Firefox, so not a solution for Thunderbird, right? This 10 years old improvement proposal is still UNCONFIRMED, or the status field was not updated? Is there a general consensus that it would make sense to implement this enhancement and is it clear how to do it? I saw several tickets dealing with this same issue. This one here is the master ticket? -- 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: New Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: New 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?
