    Awesome extension, and excellent site too. I really like the use of JavaScript.

    I have been using this for months. Recently I added the spellcheck plugin for WordPress but I still prefer the Firefox extension. For one thing you can add words which is not possible with the WordPress plugin. It came in handy when I had to write entries for my foreign language class too. I just downloaded the Mexico/ES dictionary and I could switch easily back and forth!

    Screenshot of my extension list, this is what makes Firefox better than all the others! It is adaptable.

    LOL. I just “instinctively” right clicked and spellchecked this entry without even thinking about it.

    Actually it is quite possible starting at version 0.7 of the plugin. It is now at version 1.1.

    That said, there are advantages in having both available.

    Thanks ColdForged, I did not know that, I must need to update the plugin!

    Sweet! I was looking for a solution to the problem for some of my vehicle exporting clients. They are not usually the most technologically saavy crowd. You know that you got number 1 google hit for “mozilla spell check plugin” ;-)

    Doesn’t work in Firefox 1.5+.

    Firefox 2 = spellchecker included

    I must be being silly, but the spellchecker built into Forefox 2.0 doesn’t seem to present options for an incorrectly-spelt word. What am I doing wrong? It underlines words, but doesn’t seem to allow me to select a correct spelling from the context menu.

    Any help would be appreciated!
