Mystery Problem Solved
13 Answers
Hi Ed. For the record I thought you might be interested to learn that I have discovered what was causing the problem of my big avatar. If you recall, I soved it by using "Refresh Firefox" which removed many things that I've had to replace and one of them was an spellchecker addon called Grammarly.
I re-installed it this morning and blow me, the large avatar returned, I searched the internet and there are stories of other people having issues with this addon. I removed it and the avatar went immediately back to normal.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I have deliberately chanced my arm and installed 'Grammarly' and knocked-out, temporarily, for test purposes, the Dictionary I have installed in Firefox. Also, I made a few spelling errors, which were corrected by the 'Add-on'.

Firefox's native spellchecker is good enough for me!

For some strange reason I've not yet fathomed, Khandro, the 'British' version of Firefox sometimes seems to automatically spellcheck whereas other installations require you to install the relevant dictionary first.
If your version of Firefox isn't automatically spellchecking, click the 'hamburger' (three lines, top right) and then on 'Add-ons'. Click 'Extensions', type 'British English' in the search box and hit Enter. The top entry will probably be 'British English Dictionary R1.19 for Firefox . . .' Click the 'Install' button next to it.
Alternatively you might see 'British English Dictionary (Marco Pinto)' listed. I've no idea why different options appear on different computers but, if that's what you see, install that instead.
Spellchecking should then be enabled. If it's not, go to 'Hamburger' > Options > Advanced > General and put a tick next to 'Check my spelling as I type'.
