I first noticed in in facebook, but spellchecker has stopped working across all sites in FF. Not MSIE or MS Word or Outlook.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu. Also make sure that [[X]"Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a tick. You can also try to toggle the "Check Spelling" item off and on again.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Spell_checking and How do I use the Firefox spell checker? See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Dictionaries

Some have reported that toggling the "Check Spelling" check-mark in the right-click context menu works. ..........

Verify on the about:config page that the pref ui.SpellCheckerUnderlineStyle is not set to "0" See http://kb.mozillazine.org/ui.SpellCheckerUnderlineStyle

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

I have the same issue as described. This started when I installed FF 3.6.6 - FF 3.6.5 works fine. Is it possible issue with this version?
