Spell check is not working in hotmail - when I go to the spell check it says incorrect spelling is underlined in red but states that if I am using Firefox it is necessary to download spellcheck from there. Do not know how to do this

Not all locales come with a dictionary installed for licensing reasons.
If you do not have the en-US locale then check that you have a dictionary installed (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and selected.

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.
