I'm glad I could (belatedly) help. Thanks, Paul

No combination of layout.spellcheckDefault and spellchecker.dictionary as suggested above fixes the issue, though. Mike

Apart from also having myspell-af + myspell-en, plsu not having gtkspell, my install has the same packages as yours. Must be a weird config thing. Try creating a new temp user and running firefox in that. AT least then you'll know if you need to dig through .firefox or not -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
