Here's how to Fix Firefox Spell Checker not working on Windows.

i. Here are some steps on how to fix Firefox Spell Checker not working on Windows:

1. **Check if the spell checker is enabled.** To do this, open Firefox and click on the menu button (three horizontal lines) in the top right corner of the window. Select "Options" and then click on the "Advanced" tab. Scroll down to the "Languages" section and make sure that the "Check spelling as you type" checkbox is checked.
2. **Restart Firefox.** Sometimes, simply restarting Firefox can fix the problem with the spell checker. To do this, close Firefox completely and then open it again.
3. **Clear the Firefox cache.** The Firefox cache can sometimes become corrupted and cause problems with the spell checker. To clear the cache, open Firefox and click on the menu button (three horizontal lines) in the top right corner of the window. Select "History" and then click on "Clear Recent History..." In the "Clear Recent History" dialog box, select the "Cache" checkbox and then click on the "Clear Now" button.
4. **Disable or uninstall any extensions that you have installed recently.** It is possible that one of your extensions is causing the problem with the spell checker. To disable an extension, open Firefox and click on the menu button (three horizontal lines) in the top right corner of the window. Select "Add-ons" and then click on the "Extensions" tab. Find the extension that you want to disable and then click on the "Disable" button. To uninstall an extension, click on the "Remove" button instead.
5. **Update Firefox to the latest version.** Mozilla regularly releases updates for Firefox that fix bugs and improve performance. To update Firefox, open Firefox and click on the menu button (three horizontal lines) in the top right corner of the window. Select "Help" and then click on "About Firefox." If an update is available, Firefox will automatically download and install it.
6. **Reset Firefox to its default settings.** If you have tried all of the above steps and you are still having problems with the spell checker, you can reset Firefox to its default settings. This will remove all of your extensions, add-ons, and settings, but it will not remove your bookmarks or saved passwords. To reset Firefox, open Firefox and click on the menu button (three horizontal lines) in the top right corner of the window. Select "Help" and then click on "Troubleshooting Information." Click on the "Reset Firefox" button and then click on the "Reset Firefox" button again to confirm.

If you have tried all of the above steps and you are still having problems with the spell checker, you can contact Mozilla support for further assistance.

ii. Sure. The layout.spellcheckDefault setting in Firefox Configuration Editor controls when spell checking is enabled. The possible values for this setting are:

* **0:** Spell checking is never enabled.
* **1:** Spell checking is enabled for multi-line text fields, such as in a form.
* **2:** Spell checking is enabled for all text fields, including single-line text fields, such as a search box.

The default value for this setting is 1.

To change the value of this setting, open the Firefox Configuration Editor by pressing `Ctrl`+`Shift`+`A`. In the search bar, type "layout.spellcheckDefault" and press Enter. Click on the "layout.spellcheckDefault" entry and enter the desired value in the text box. Click on the "OK" button to save the changes.

If you are having trouble with spell checking in Firefox, you can try changing the value of the layout.spellcheckDefault setting.
