type of cursor is not visible and spell check does not
Sometimes the little cursor typing thing you get when you click in a text box does not appear, but I can still type. When I hit a bad spell red underline Word doesn't appear to be and do a right-click on the word evil does not show an option to correct
Hello
For spell checking, you can activate the right click in a text box and select check spelling, or by going to your options:
- Tools (or
) > Options > advanced > general
And select "check my spelling as I type".
In the same option screen, can you try to disable hardware acceleration and see if it causes your cursor appears? You may need to restart Firefox so that that has an effect, so be sure to save any work that you do.
See also article update your drivers graphics to use hardware acceleration and WebGL to see if it applies to you.
You can also try in Firefox Safe Mode which is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:
- Click the menu button
click Help
then select restart with disabled modules.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:
- On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.
When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

I've upgraded to the next level of Firefox, has started an email in my hotmail account. To halfway through my email, the cursor is jumping and endangered: () I had to keep retyping the same words/phrases. When I saved the project again, and then returned to continue typing, words/phrases have been blurred/misspelled. In fact, I apologized to the intended recipient, explaining my situation.
I had to retype the same email 5 x before you send it.
Can I go back to the previous version of Firefox? New and improved is not cut it this email guru.
The strange thing happens only in hotmail; my other email accounts are fine.
Thanks :((
Hi there, once again, madperson
Solves nothing; However, for the moment, FF behaves itself. Perhaps, she needed time to energize/launch; No matter what. I never look in a gift horse in the mouth.
Managed to change your homepage back to yahoo.com
Once again, thank you very much and have a weekend gr8.
PS: Latest news :) Also, for the record, just want to share with other users of this household our portable (deletion of leap/temp files) on a regular basis is as important as our spring/fall cleaning houses.
My laptop is now running faster.
Happy once again :)

I changed language iPad in French (but not the region, which remains United Kingdom) in order to write an email in French. Everything on the iPad changed in French as expected. When I'm done I changed the language to English (UK) and everything changed in English unless the auditor keyboard and which remained in French. I then changed to English (India) but the keyboard and spell checker is in French. I have changed the language to the French and finally back to English (United Kingdom). While everything on the iPad to the language changes expected, the keyboard and spell checker will not change to French. How do go back to English?
Press the 'globe' and select English. It is the keyboard that determines the spell checker (not the language or region).

My spell checker does not work on my OE longer since I installed Microsoft Works and I don't want to change my e-mail program. This spellchecker programs seem to work better with OE.
Thank you

OE 6 doesn't come with it's own spellcheck. You need to Word or MS Office program, before 2007. The spell checker in Works 4 to 6 will work with OE, but not other editions. If you do not have such a program, you can download a free spell check to one of these sites.

> The message I get is 'Works cannot finish checking the spelling and grammar because an error occurred. Some files may be missing or damaged. To resolve this problem, please reinstall Works.
In your case, you will need to reinstall the complete picture Toshiba because of my knowledge, this software is just part of the picture, and it was not delivered the external drive of Microsoft.
So if you want to get a disc from Microsoft then I guess you'll have to pay for it.

Spell check does not work with e-mails.
Dose of spell check does not work when I do e-mail. Why is this? I don't have Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 thanks Callum
A hypothesis will have to be made here, given that you have left out SOME vital information that you can specify now:
What email client/application/program do you use (to send and receive e-mail)?
Given what you have, maybe you are using the native Windows Mail that came with Vista and have not installed anything else and do not use just a web browser to access your email...

spell check does not work. olso lingo Fox does not.
When I compose g mail spell check does not work. It rises but does not check the spelling. Fox jargon does not translate.
Please, first check a few of the plugins that are installed with versions in double in your Firefox profile.
Second, please check that this jargon of the Fox is to add yet support on in Firefox. Please check to make sure that the spell checker works in Mode without failure of Firefox. Questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode
