Spellchecking doesn't work in hotmail

I've recently changed my browser to firefox from internet explorer and now the spellchecker doesn't work in hotmail. It says the browser is checking the spelling automatically but it's not. I found a forum thread that told me to right click make sure there's a tick next to check spelling, but check spelling doesn't come up when I right click, neither does languages. I also went to about:config and there is already a 1 next to layout.spellcheckdefault.
I've pasted the thread I used below
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I started using firefox

  • Spellchecker doesn't work with Aurora 16.0a2

    It doesn't work. I check the spellchecker box restart and uncheck it restart but it won't work.
    It's the US version of Aurora i am using.

    Do you have a dictionary installed and selected?
    You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.
    *Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
    *Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
    You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
    *Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"

  • Left Click doesn't work in Hotmail or Yahoo

    I was running low on disk space and my IT dept said they deleted some "temporary files". Whatever they did hosed IE so that it reverted from v8 to v7. They redid the IE upgrade and installed a bunch of updates from MS and upgraded Java, but I'm still having a problem in FF. Most sites are fine, but when I go to Yahoo or Hotmail email, left click doesn't work. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling FF. I've tried running FF in safe mode and reinstalling some of the plugins that I thought might possibly have an effect. I still can't get it to work. I've used some of the web dev tools in FF, all I can find out is some of the errors that are reported on page load. On Hotmail, one is that a var called "JQuery" is undefined, among others.

  • I own a MacBook Pro and my spellcheck doesn't work anymore any ideas?

    I own a Mac  book Pro and the spellcheck no longer works,any ideas? Or should I take this up with the site I'm using?

    The built-in spell checker may not work in the rich-text editor on a website, including this one.

  • Dynamic spellcheck doesn't work, autocorrect and normal spellcheck do work.

    Hi,
    my dynamic spelling doesnt work, i use windows 7 and indesign cs6.
    My normal spellcheck (the word per word one) does work, my dictionary works, everything works exept dynamic spelling, pls help.
    I have chosen the correct disctionary and my text is set in the right disctionary also (at the characters tap).

    Just to be sure: You know that dynamic spell check works only by underlining word with different colours? And that those underlines can only be seen in preview mode?

  • Spellchecker doesn't work correctly in WordPress

    The spellchecker will stop showing misspelled words when editing a post in WordPress. Here is a video of this happening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_S2NZxjh2B8&feature=youtu.be It may happen in other applications as well but I really only use this one.

    If you suspect or notice issues with the spell checker then you can also toggle Check Spelling off/on via the right-click context menu to reset the spell checker.
    Note that some text editors may be using JavaScript to monitor your input that cause Firefox not to notice changes you made to the text.

  • Why Hotmail Doesn't Work Properly Anymore???

    Hotmail recently upgraded their look and as a result, it doesn't work properly via my iphone when I use Safari. It tells me to upgrade my web browser to Safari, IE or Firefox, however my iphone has the newest upgrade available...........so what is the fix?
    In short, my hotmail doesn't work properly (Doesn't display emails in the preview pane) so I can't check emails essentially.

    See the post abut this that you posted in a few minutes ago. Allan has answered the question.

    I was having trouble sending to hotmail accounts from my Earthlink account, they had me go into Mac Mail preferences and make changes (because they claimed it was Mac Mail's fault, even though the hotmail error code said it's because Earthlink is blocked by hotmail), now Mac Mail doesn't work AT ALL - any help changing the settings back to correct Mac Mail settings? I can provide a transcript of the entire tech chat session, if that will help...

    both apostrophes are used correctly, thanks
    doesn't = does not (this is called a contraction)
    it's = it is
    Mac Mail's fault = possessive
    any help with the actual issue? thanks!

  • When trying to read emails on hotmail on firefox, the "back" button on my mouse doesn't work right. It works fine if I use internet explorer. This started about three days ago.

    Also doesn't work right when I try to click on the inbox. I sometimes just get a blank screen. Seems to work fine on every other site except Hotmail.

    Nothing changed after clearing cashe and cookies and restarting in safe mode.

  • Had problem with my hotmail account and had to change my password. Ever since then, my default e-mail account set up to hotmail doesn't work...it sends from gmail. How can I correct that?

    Had problem with my hotmail account and had to change my password. Ever since then, my default e-mail account set up to hotmail doesn't work...it sends from gmail. How can I correct that?

    On your iPhone you need to change your password in 2 places:
    - Incoming Mail Server and
    - Outgoing Mail Server
    To get to the password entry for the Outgoing Mail Server you have to tap on cell smtp.live.com and again on the second view.

  • Firefox: YouTube doesn't work, neither does Hotmail. What's wrong????

    I used to love my Firefox but lately it has become one big head ache. I have v3.6 since I had heard so many complaints about V4, and am always afraid to lose my beloved add ons (Sxipper, Morning Coffee) when I update. These are the things that make my daily life easier. Sxipper should be adopted by you guys since they are being faced out and is the best password option ever.
    Anyway, neither YouTube or Hotmail work on FF anymore. So am now being forced to use IE or Chrome, but I would love to keep my FF. None of the solutions offered for either problem have helped me.
    Now there is a V5? With a new look!?I don't want a new look I am happy with the one I have. You are becoming like Facebook always making changes that actually make it worse for your customers? WHY???

    I have the same problem.  Actually, it started when I switched the language on my iPhone to Spanish.  Because Siri doesn't work in Spanish, I switched back to English.  But the dictionary now is a mess.  So, I reset the dictionary, but that didn't help.  I tried restoring my iPhone but that didn't help either, I assume because when I restored, it picked up the bad dictionary.  I can't restore to an earlier date because I can't lose me texts.  But I am surprised that resetting the dictionary had no effect whatsoever.

  • I seem to have multiple problems related or unrelated.  I cannot use Apple Mail for blueyonder and mostly for gmail as both show that the server is off line.  My pop up blocker doesn't work and I am blitzed with pop up windows on nearly every command

    Firstly I am unable to use Apple mail except for hotmail, for blueyonder, gmail or Sky as the server shows as (off line) and I have no idea how to get them on line even though I tell them to go there. 
    My pop up blocker doesn't work and I am blitzed with advertising windows virtually on ever command I make, one seems to be impossible to unsubscribe from. 
    When I am in an email with a web link the web link doesn't work and I get a window saying that I must have a pop up blocker, but if I switch it off it is no different, what does work is switching the "enable Java script off", then when I get to the web site I can't use it until I switch the java script back on.
    I can't do a screen shot either full or partial, when I try it changes the web site that is on screen to another.
    So what have I done that might have caused problems, downloading Yosemite seemed to be the start of the problems.  Since then I have started to install Mackeeper, after checking with a family members who should know, that MacPaw is safe.  I decided that I didn't want to pay the subscription, so went through the uninstall instructions but it comes up as a pop up with considerable regularity.
    My stress levels have gone through the roof with pop ups happening so regularly and not being able to use Apple mail.o can anyone help please?

  • How do I log out of icloud on my iphone when my password or email recovery address doesn't work?

    I switched my email address to a more current gmail one (which works as my apple id) from an old hotmail one. It switched my apple id over, but it didn't switch my icloud email over. Now the hotmail account is gone, the old password doesn't work, and I can't log in to icloud with my current gmail one. I can't delete it becuase the password doesn't work. I can't even wipe my phone out and start with whole new accounts because I can't turn off 'find my iphone'! 

    What it says is that Photostream photos will be deleted on your phone & any documents stored on the phone will be deleted...that's the way it works. If you want these photos, you need to save them first. For contacts, calendars, etc., you'll be asked if you want to keep on the phone or not.
