but I use GNU IceCat (a totally free browser based on Mozilla code) with spell check in English/Russian/Belarusian/Esperanto without any problem.

Opera doesn’t includes inline spell-checking like Firefox. You need a little Java-script for this.
OSpell - Your In-Line Spell Checker for Opera. A simple how-to video is also included on the site.
Good luck.

For firefox maybe you need to update the spellchecker https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:3

Yeah, I can confirm this. For me it was a bit annoying, and the build in check was far away from FFs inline spell checking, so I gave up with Opera.
You are welcome!

hey guys…i have just checked the settings for firefox.to enable the inline spell check should do as follows:
go to about:config
accept that you will be careful
and enter “layout.spell” in the search and change its integer value to 2 and restart the browser.
