First of all, you're using Firefox 34.0.5 as your details say.
This addon called "[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/british-english-dictionary-/?src=search British English Dictionary]" is the most used addon currently.
Reply if this doesn't help.

Naeem, Thank you, point taken about the version number - I simply saw the download page state that each of the dictionaries I tried said "Not available for 31.1.0". What actually happens is that any of the dictionaries I download are not recognised by Thunderbird. The spell-check pane appears, but does not highlight any misspelt word nor give any suggested replacement. I have found a dictionary downloaded to "My documents/ Downloads" but when I double click it the system cannot open an "xpi" file. Is this because I do not have Windows XP but Windows8. I also checked the download site for "Other versions" which all say not suitable for my system
? I fearI am confused! PS the spell checking has just worked on this message!

  • Cannot find the download button to install Firefox on my new laptop. How can I download w/o a link, button or something?

    I love Firefox, but I have spent a lot of time trying to find the download button to install on my new computer. Whaat am I overlooking, or has someone forgot to include the download option?

    "Different by Design" is just "brand messaging" for the Firefox download page (shown [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ here] and in the [[Installing Firefox on Windows]] KB article) for marketing purposes. It's possible that the browser you were using had JavaScript disabled (or you're using web-filtering software that blocks scripts) because when I disable JavaScript and go to www.getfirefox.com, the page I'm redirected to, which is http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/?from=getfirefox doesn't have a green download button.

  • Can't install itunes on my new laptop w/ Windows 8 64bit

    So, I am trying to install the newest version of itunes on my Dell with Intel i3 Windows 8- 64 bit system.  I had itunes on my old laptop (running Windows Vista) and it worked just fine, but when I tried to install it on my new dell, I get as far as downloading (itunes64setup.exe) and after it is done downloading and I try to install it, it gives me a pop up that says something along the lines of "this app can not be installed on your system- contact software manufacturer for the correct version for your system"  I spent several hours on the phone yesterday with an apple rep and they weren't able to resolve it either.  They had my delete the itunes that I had just downloaded, turn off my internet protection and try downloading the same one again.  It downloads, it just won't install afterwards.  When that did not work either, she had me try installing the standard 32 bit version, still nothing.  Then she had me install the older itunes 9.2 to see if that would install and then I could just update it afterwards, but that would not install either after downloading.  I tried restarting my computer and then downloading it again, same issue.  I've been using the newest version of Firefox, but I tried downloading and installing it in IE.  Same issue. Tried IE w/out internet protection, same issue.  As a last resort I saved the itunes installation from my old laptop on a flash drive and tried to install it on my new laptop from the flash drive and it almost seemed like it would work, it started the installation wizard, but after a minute it stopped and said that it was a 32bit version and that I needed the 64 bit version for my system.  That is actually the farthest I had gotten with any of my tries.  It would not even get to the installation box with any of the other tries!!! If any one knows a solution for this, I would be so greatful!!! I tried the tips from past discussions and it did not resolve it.  HELP!!!

  • Since I updated my phone and installed itunes on my new laptop, none of the songs I purchased from itunes will work. NOT HAPPY.

    Since I last updated my phone and installed itunes on my new laptop, all the songs I purchased (and spent alot of money on) wont play on my phone or itunes on my laptop.

    thanks for the reply
    it looks as though i have to download them all again because next to each song on both my phone and laptop there is a cloud with a red arrow.
    i installed the itunes, then plugged my phone in and followed all the instructions- the itunes on my laptop shows all the songs but still has the cloud symbol

  • TS3212 when installing iTunes on my new laptop a message box appears saying some sort of error has occured and i have to uninstall it then reinstall it again and it still won't work what should i do?

    when installing iTunes on my new laptop a message box appears saying some sort of error has occured and i have to uninstall it then reinstall it again and it still won't work what should i do?

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

    > So now my question is, how can i fix this problem?
    Use the Toshiba recovery disk or the Toshiba HDD recovery option.
    If you dont have the Toshiba Recovery disk try the HDD recovery:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
    This works only if the recovery image files from Toshiba are still on the HDD:
    If you installed the system using another disk as Toshiba recovery disk, this recovery option will not work.

  • I have used the same CS5.5 software for almost 2 years. I tried installing it on my new laptop and the installer is saying that my serial # is invalid. How do I fix this?

    I had Adobe CS5.5 Master Collection downloaded onto my old computer for almost a year. I uninstalled CS5.5 from my old computer and tried installing it on my new laptop, but the installer says that my serial # is not valid. How do I fix this? I have never run into this problem before, and I really need my software back up and running, because I have a sizeable project due in 3 days. Any help is appreciated!

  • I purchased a new laptop.  I'm trying to find the same version of Acrobat Pro 9.5 I have on my old laptop to install on my new computer.  Any help?

    I purchased a new laptop.  I'm trying to find the same version of Acrobat Pro 9.5 I have on my old laptop to install on my new computer.  Any help?

    I'm using an iMac with the newest OS X Yosemite. I tried to reinstall Creative Cloud, removed all the programs. But I still get the 'old' 2014 version with the Lionhead, not the Sunglasses (october 2014) with interactive libraries. I use Adobe iPad apps, for instance Adobe Brush, Adobe Shape and Adobe Color and it's so great to have all the things you make with these apps in your Illustrator & Photoshop libraries. Somehow it worked om my laptop, but not om my home computer.

  • Installing CS4/5 on new laptop without disks?

    I am picking up a new PC laptop this afternoon, and I plan on deactivate and removing CS5 from my old laptop. I have the originial, registered, CS4 disks as well as the CS5 upgrade disks (both Design Premium, if that helps any), but the new laptop does not have a disk drive. What is the best way to install CS on the new laptop?
    Additionally, would I have to first install CS4 and then follow with the upgrade? I can't recall exactly what, but I do remember running into some issues when I first did this about 3 years ago (and have had resulting error messages since then that I'd love to avoid on the new computer).
    Many thanks in advance.

    no, you only need to install cs5.  you will be prompted for the serial numbers of both your cs4 and your cs5 upgrade.
    if you follow all 7 steps, you can dl a trial via one of the links on this page:  http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a dl problem, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  typically, failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem.

  • Installing cs6 on a new laptop, I get error message "Adobe application manager failed to install"

    installing cs6 on a new laptop, I get error message "Adobe application manager failed to install"
    Is this because I need to deactivate cs5 on one of the computers?
    CS5 is on 2 old computers. I used Migration Assistant to migrate the applications to the new laptop which is a 3rd computer.
    What do I need to do?

    I used Migration Assistant to migrate the applications to the new laptop which is a 3rd computer.
    Forget that part. The apps won't work. Adobe apps must be installed properly. That may well explain your issues with CS6, too. Generalyl, though, there is no need to uninstall older versions...

  • Is there anyway to uninstall p/shop frrom my old laptop which has been damaged and I cannot retrieve any info and re-install it on my new laptop? thank you

    I previously purchased p/shop and had it installed on my old laptop.
    It was badly damaged and I cant retrieve anything from it without paying out a fortune to have a company try to access it.
    Is there anyway I can get p/shop uninstalled and re-install t on my new laptop?
    The old laptop is completely kaput-- doesn't even switch on?
    Thank you

    I am sorry its taken me a day or so to respond. ( My niece went into labour on the other side of the country and I have only just gotten back home)
    I would just like to say thank you so much to the kind forum members who responded with very helpful solutions.
    As a complete idiot when it comes to computers I am so grateful.
    I will speak to some friends who are much more computer savvy and will probably be able to put the suggestions into action.
    I really appreciate all the assistance as I would really like to retrieve some of the stuff from the old laptop and transfer it to my new one as I have no way to replace
    the "lost" stuff,
    Again Thank you
