[Solved] Firefox spell check misbehaving when hunspell is installed

hippieben · 2014-02-21 03:00:01

Firefox keeps defaulting to British English for the spell check dictionary. This only happens when hunspell is installed. However, without hunspell installed spell check does not work in Libreoffice. No matter how many times I set the spell check dictionary to US english in firefox, it always switches back to British english.

Is there any work around for this? I've never been able to find a fix. Is there a way to get Libreoffice to work with aspell so I can get rid of hunspell?

Thanks a lot!

I have the same problem.

I think I fixed this. Right click on the misspelled word. Then go to the languages option and select what you want.

I fixed it! I uninstalled hunspell-en and installed python2-gtkspell. Now English US is the only language available for spell check in firefox (perfect) and spell check works in libreoffice (awesome).
