Could you please try the following?: 1. Remove the currently installed dictionary (even if it is 2.68) 2. Restart SeaMonkey 3. Install 2.68 4. Restart SeaMonkey After this, check if it does show up in Edit->Preferences->Appearance->Spelling. In a quick test here (with a build of 2.53.6beta1pre), I was able to get to the point where 2.68 is listed as installed but is not shown as a spell-checking language option, if I install a webextension version of the dictionary and then install 2.68 without restarting SeaMonkey first. (In my testing (when I skipped step 2 above), 2.68 did (at least some times?) show up as an option and would work until I restarted SeaMonkey, so make sure you check that it is still working *after* restarting SeaMonkey.) -- Nuno Silva _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
