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.
