Spell check not working correctly after upgrade to 3.5

Ok...just now I am having a new problem, when I get a misspelled word it is underlined in red. When I right click on it it always gave me 'spell check and or other options. Now I am getting the unlined word, but when I right click...nothing shows up. No 'spell check', no 'copy', no 'paste', etc or any other options.

I use Firefox and have for years, I decided to try it on Microsoft Word, it still works fine there.....????

Could this be because of changes or something that AMHD is doing? I know that Rpray said that you will be working on the site tonight...

Stringer (Hopefully I haven't misspelled any words....)

I know vB has an issue with capital letters at the start.
Even my password brings up that warning message and I don't use the capital on my username. Usernames don't "care", but passwords do.

Give that a try.

Did you do a "simple" upgrade from 3.x to 3.5 or a clean reinstall ??

Explorer already had my password listed '............' For my username I tried it with a small 's' and again with a capitol 'S'...(stringer), still no.

I upgraded and was told to re-boot, which I did, so I suppose it was a reinstall but I will have to check. If 3.0 still shows as being there should I uninstall 3.0?

In all honesty, I would be inclined to completely reinstall 3.5.

Back up your favorites and then remove 3.5.
Run CCleaner reg cleaner and reboot and reinstall.

It sounds like a previous extension may be the cause of your problems.
I had something similar happen when I restored my 3.0.x onto a 3.5 install.

Thanks Again Ben.

What I did was uninstall FF 3.5.2 and reinstalled FF 3.0.8 and at this moment it seems to be ok again. I checked the spell check, paste, etc and it works now....

I am just curious if I have all the security updates for this version? I went to the site and couldn't find where to do any updates. If I downloaded it today, it should have all the updates current...right?

Thanks bud.

Here's FF 3.0.13, last before 3.5..

Download Firefox 3.0.13 - Download - FileHippo.com

As you have no extensions installed, it might be worth installing 3.5.2.

morgaine300 agrees: Oh thank you, thank you, thank you. I had been meaning to ask where I could get a pre-3.5. :-)

I installed the 3.0.13 and I checked, all seems to be fine.

I think that I am going to stay away from 3.5 in general until I feel it is ok.

Although I still can not log in on Explorer...but I use FF as my default anyway...so...

Thanks for your help Ben.

Explorer gave me trouble with my msn /hotmail when I started using Firefox, I just assumed that it maybe a rivalry thing between the two companies, not letting us use both programs in the same pc.(talk about being paranoid!)

It didnt matter, love firefox way more than Explorer anyway.
