Firefox Spell Check

Firefox marked every word as spelled wrong. Right click on any form field select check spelling, and click languages. For some reason mine defaulted to Russian.

Hat tip to ghacks.

ISSUE: Firefox PDF Upload comes through as text or other

If you upload a file through Firefox, it may send the wrong mimetype for this file.

Delete mimeTypes.rdf, in the user \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles folder.
You may find it in extensions folder also.

Delete the files and restart Firefox and see if it works for you.

Disable / Modify Shortcut keys in Firefox

I had a problem with Ctrl-Shift-P (start private browsing) interfering with the Ctrl-Shift-P on dotSUB for starting/stopping video play.

Seems dumb, but I can't edit it within firefox config, I had to load a keyconfig extension.
Restart the browser, go to Tools/Keyconfig, then scroll down to the shortcut key, and disable.

keyconfig allows you to change keyboard shortcuts. [Firefox, Thunderbird, Sunbird, Flock, ChatZilla on XULRunner, and Toolkit 1.9 Applications (Prism, Songbird, McCoy, the upcoming SeaMonkey 2.0, ...)]
