Running FF 24.0 on Mac OS X 10.8.4. This is relatively clean system (created within the last two weeks).

Suddenly today, I can no longer use the Spell Check on certain web sites. In this text box as I type, it works, but in other sites, all I see is Add Dictionary when I try to right-click on the field to enable Spell Check.

Is this a FF issue or a web site issue?

You can enable or disable spell checking globally:

Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"

Add the Dictionary Addons to your firefox

Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page that doesn't require authentication (signing on)?

It is possible that the server send a language in the meta tag or otherwise.

You can check the installed languages and their order.
