    That is because you didn't follow the steps:

    program for some reason, stops working and I have to re-install it every few days, is there a fix? To the Developers response, ask any questions you have, I use a desk top with windows 7 64bit this has been going on for about a year now. I just notice that spell check is not working any more... come back to this page, I add it again and I'm good for a few days...

    The information you provide is not enough to analyse your problem.

    EDIT (2020-06-13):
    Send me an e-mail so that we can see how to solve it:

    Hello!

    I have been trying to find out the answer.

    I asked in the add-ons riot channel about it but no one replied.

    I found this URL:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1027778

    It says there that Android doesn't accept dictionaries, which is strange.

    I tried to install LanguageTool which uses my dictionary, and it doesn't work on Android.

    It is terrible :-(

    This add-on does not work at all. I cannot even find it in my browser. It says that it is installed but it is not in my extension tab. I restarted the Firefox browser but it does not work. In disappointment, I had to download another add-on.

    Update: Now after the new update for the browser. The add-on is working and it's really good. :)

    Hello dear brother,

    Don't worry, follow the install instructions here:
    https://proofingtoolgui.org/en_installing.html

    If you are using Firefox 59 or older, download the legacy add-on:
    https://github.com/marcoagpinto/aoo-mozilla-en-dict

    Tell me if it worked.

    Kind regards,

    It's an excellent add-on, and thank you for maintaining it, Marco Pinto.

    Thank you my dear brother,

    I have been dedicating the latest times to add possessives and plurals to words.

    I have been analysing word by word to see which ones are nouns and thus add plural+possessive.

    I still have issues with the "mass nouns"/"uncountable nouns" since only some accept plurals and I am not sure if they all accept possessives.

    I committed the current version to Gerrit and it will come with LibreOffice 6.4 in January, but then I found out that some more common plurals were missing, such as "punishers", which I will come in December's version but it will only be integrated into LibreOffice in May (they only integrate the spellers twice a year: May and November).

    There is still a long way to go and I know that I can make the difference. Like Spock once said: "because the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one or the few". Individual effort will benefit millions.

    Kind regards from,
    > Marco A.G.Pinto
