Mageia forum

I switched over to mageia about 2 months ago. Everything works well, but one thing doesn't. The spelling check in firefox. I run a BB forum as Site admin and when I need a spelling checked, it does nothing. Works fine in Thunderbird, but not in firefox.
Any one run into this. Or am I missing something. I am far from a newbee as I have run mandriva since it was Mandrake. V2
Any help is appricated.
Thanks

Please show the output of

Code: Select all

rpm -qa | grep -ie locale -e hunspell

did you check per right-click, if the spell-checking ('Rechtschreibung prüfen' in my screenshot) enabled and also the language is selected correctly?

It is in there. And the spell check does work in Thunderbird when composing messages, Just doesn't work in firefox.

Yes I did the right click and the spell check is there and checked.

Is your firefox profile migrated from another installation or freshly created?

Well here goes and it is working.
I cheated and formatted the HD and did a fresh install and it is working.

Please n1kio, be so kind marking the topic accordingly.
You can do so by editing the subject/title of the first message in this topic.
Place [SOLVED] to the left of the title, and everybody is happy again.

Thanks in advance!!!!!!
