Why all of a sudden my spell checker is no longer works?

I just noticed recently that when I misspell a word & get the line red winding under the Word as usual, on YouTube and a few other sites when I right click I get the drop down with the correct spelling.
Also, when I try to copy (it seems to work), but when I hit and right click 'paste', it does not work.
I have Windows 8.1, Firefox 39.0 recently installed.
Is there a reason that this can be corrected?
Thank you
PT

Hello

By default, Firefox is configured to automatically check the spelling. You can check this feature as follows:

1. click the Fx button menu again and choose Preferences.
2. Select the Advanced tab.
3. click on the general tab.
4. make sure that the checkbox "check my spelling as I type" is checked

Close the topic: preferences page. Any changes that you have made is automatically saved.

I hope this helps!

    Hi Meg, thanks for your response. The files were imported from an SD card reader and I worked with them for weeks.

  • Why all of a sudden line rectangle appears soft as if a transparency on that?

    I worked on a file in Illustrator CS6 (dnuee) for a while. This afternoon, all of a sudden, any rectangle or rectangle rounded corners that I draw looks soft as if it has transparency on that. I checked both at the level object and layer, and transparency is default/100%. Seems OK to 3pts, but not the title. Does not occur for other forms such as polygons and ellipses. No idea what is happening? THX.

    Yes you can turn the snap to grid of pixels on a case by case basis. You should have intiiaed creation with her fact TIC TAC (including cand you choose to do when you open a new document). That everything would have helped a bit as you created it. After the fact, it can be embarrassing.

  • What are firefox web ide and that's why all of a sudden that prevents me from working

    all of a sudden this morning, when I press the SHIFT key, a window opens which, when I expand it, it's firefox web ide. What white is, and why it rises. I am a simple user, not a developer and have no interest or need for developer tools. I can't make it disappear or turn it off. I finally get off I could enter my email by selecting my email address in a drop of water down - can't hit this symbol without the shift key--and put in my password limits by turning off caps lock key. But what makes firefox worse than useless.

    I guess this is related to the update firefox automatically downloaded yesterday or that it is some sort of virus, well I'm very careful about virus protection.

    I have used firefox for years and, so far, that is fine, but it's hopeless and, if I can't solve this report without delay, will be totally useless firefox for what it is.

    Thanks for the quick reply (happy to see the capital T at the beginning of this sentence). I never typed the F8 key (I almost never use the function keys, I am a developer/leader of old digital equipment and from time to time, for old times sake, open a DOS window and rename files using RENAME it order... i. e, a dinosaur) so there is no reason why it should have been stuck. The problem seems to occur when / whenever I used the key.

    But, for other reasons, I restarted my computer and the problem disappeared.

    As I see no reason why a reboot would have affected the behavior of Firefox, I don't see why this has helped. But I don't have a horse in the mouth, all happy with the result.

    Should it happen again, I will review and implement response info.

    In any case, thanks for your answer quick, complete and understandable.

  • Why, all of a sudden I have a folder called Spam, full of stuff? How can I get rid of the things?

    All of a sudden I have a Spam folder and it is filled with "stuff", I don't have before and want to know how to get rid of the "stuff", I know I can remove the folder, but do not know if this is something I should do.

    Thunderbird does not use the word Spam or create a junk mail folder. Your e-mail provider.
    Just look in the folder and remove any message you want. Some spam filters are not that large to determine what is or is not spam and there could be some messages in there that you want to read or keep.
    It is not the end of the world. Simply sort the message in there.

    Robinet tap away at the key esc that you start the computer to launch the Start Menu, and then select f10 to open the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the default values (sometimes it's f9, but the menu below indicates the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press ENTER.  Press f10 to save the setting and still use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press on enter.

    I tried put it back at least 5 times, according to their instructions and am now here, after they said it was a browser issue. I do I get invited to install on firefox, I install, I get the message that it has been installed correctly - but then it never appears in the Extensions or Plugins area under modules area (even if nothing never appears in the Extensions). And the features, it allows tumblr are not enabled.

    The 'missing-e' people sent me here say they believe that it is a browser problem.
