(In reply to khobbs from comment #0) > Checked setting and spell checker is enabled. Right-click the text box where you type your message. Is “Check Spelling” enabled in the menu that pops up? If yes, do you have the same problem when you start Firefox in a brand new profile? https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles

The spell checker settings had always transferred to new versions, but in this case hadn't. I did manage to find the settings and re-enable and all went well, they have also remained enabled with subsequent updates. Thanks for your replies ans support.
