Spellchecker for Firefox

Monday, December 5th, 2005

One thing that has always stopped me from using Firefox is the absence of a native spell checker. I like how incorrect spellings show up instantly in Safari. Then I discovered Spellbound, a spelling extension for Firefox.

So I downloaded the G4 optimsed build of Firefox, whacked on the Spellbound extension only to see it crack the shits on me. Turns out that to install Spellbound, you must install:

  1. Spellbound Extension
  2. Mozilla spell check libraries for Firefox 1.0+
  3. Dictionaries for Mozilla

Once you’ve got these installed, right clicking in a text box should show a “Check Spelling” option.
