Whenever I wrote something on Firefox, it used to check the spelling. But now Firefox does not check spelling. How can I turn it back on?
Firefox used to check the spellings on whatever I wrote. But since upgrading to version 10.0.2 , I don't see any red line under wrong words and no spelling suggestions when I right-click on the words.

When you are typing in something such as these messages right click and select Check spelling. You can also turn the option on from the menu Advanced panel - Accessibility, browsing, network, updates, and other advanced settings in Firefox
Presumably you already have the the required dictionary (if you do an ordinary upgrade Firefox should not change language version) otherwise see https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/

Ah! I see. Spelling checking now works again. It seems it was not due to upgrading but accidentally clicking on check spelling which seems to have caused the problem. Thank you very much for helping me.
Glad to have helped. Thanks for posting back.
