Bug#609111: iceweasel: Spellchecker in forms no longer works after update to 3.5.16

[Steven Sciame]

Hello Mike,

     Thank you for all of your help.  /usr/share/myspell/dicts does exist and does contain dictionaries.  I just right clicked on a form and an option was present for adding dictionaries.  I tried it and it brought me to Mozilla.  I installed the dictionary and it appears to be working.  I guess that the add-on didn't survive the upgrade.  

   Thank you again for all of your help.  This appears to be solved.

Sincerely,

Steven

does /usr/share/myspell/dicts exist and does it contain dictionaries ?
Does right clicking on a form field display languages ?
