    Exclamation Firefox dictionary problem

    I am facing a problem with Firefox v3.5.1. I had to install US English Dictionary from here, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:3 because there is no dictionary(spelling check) installed in Firefox 3.5.1 by default.

    The problem is that sometimes the dictionary doesn't work. When I check the addon manager, it's grayed out and says Firefox 3.5.1 is not compatible.

    The problem would solved after an addon update, but only temporally. It happens again after sometime. I also tried installing British English Dictionary but the problem didn't solve.

    Is there any way to fix this ?

    But I like Firefox 3.5.1. It's seems way better and faster than the other versions. So no other way ?

    I installed Firefox v3.0.11 and also Opera 10 portable suggested by NP. No problems now. Both of them are working fine.

    I am getting spell checker by default (FF 3.5.1). I don't think I installed any dictionary manually. It is US-English dictionary.

    I upgraded from Firefox 3.5 to 3.5.1 using the Firefox update and there was no inbuilt dictionary for either versions. I didn't try installing version 3.5.1 directly.

    That is puzzling. I upgraded the same way. Dictionary is enabled by default.

    Try reinstalling. May be it will help.

    I downloaded and installed Firefox 3.5.1. And the problem is solved now.



    Instead of the Check Spelling option there was one to Add Dictionary and clicking it would open the Mozilla dictionary addon download page.

    Thanks for the help everyone.
