[Bug 894085] Re: On newly installed Firefox, spell checking is enabled but no language is selected

 

In my case the problem is that the ubuntu browser (FF 9.0.1) has
MULTIPLE LANGUAGES installed and it does something it never did before:
it AUTOMATICALLY chooses a RANDOM (usually WRONG) language whenever I
want to spell check. In the past I and I alone MANUALLY picked a
language and that choice remained the chosen language until I changed
it.

I want this entire stupid "auto detect and select spellcheck language"
bug to be COMPLETELY incapacitated and the former (manually picking)
system fully restored ASAP. It's driving me crazy that every single time
I went to spell check (even after 5 minutes I have to readjust the
language choice! This is ridiculous!!!
