The dictionary does not work
Spell check as you type is enabled. Language box is greyed out. The English (GB) Language Pack is installed.
The spell check does nothing. It comes up with blanks if it is selected.

Language packs only affect the language of the menu items and other interface elements. You have to install a dictionary to have spell checking.

Yes thanks. That appears to be working.
Oh how I wish TB was written for logical operation. Such a huge disappointment after having used Firefox for so many years.
