Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
After upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10 x64 with Firefox 3.6.10 I lost Firefox capability to spell check for multiple languages in text forms. This is very annoying as I use two or three different languages in a single form when composing emails for example, and also switch between tabs/firefox windows to fill out forms in different languages, and now I have to switch between dictionaries back and forth. Never was an issue before.
There is a need to set up multiple dictionaries/

I flagged your report as "affecting me".
I had a similar report of mine ready to post but it's different enough for being a separate Bug #669141.
Yours affects only Firefox and mine all spelling-checking applications.
It may bring you some light.
I have a question for you.
What is/was the procedure to have Firefox check several languages? (What do you click etc...)
Is multi-checking available for other programs?
