Anyone having trouble with spellcheck when using FF 15.0 on a winXP machine ?

Spellcheck works fine while putting together a post but... when it's done and you click OK on the shellcheck is complete FF crashs and restarts and sometimes is ok but most times it losses the post and everything must be re-entered.

Any idea what to do?

I'm now using notpad++ with aspell before posting but this is not a long term solution.

Mine is far more stable so far with this particular version... The previous crashed and stalled so often, I temporarily switched to chrome.

But, most of it, I am convinced, was a flash incompatibility issue.
