Is there a Spell checker that works with Firefox? I have one for IE, but i think il use firefox almost exclusively if i can get a spell checker for it.

I was able to get the spell checker extension working in firefox 0.9 by doing the following:

* First, uninstall Firebird
* Grab the stuff you want from my old profile (bookmarks, etc -- which is still in a Application Data folder labeled Phoenix if you are upgrading from 0.8), and then delete the profile
* Download firefox 0.9 zipfile not the installer. I've heard that some people have had problems getting this extension working with the installer version
* Unzip and place the firefox files from where you plan on running firefox from. Your install should have the composer.xpt file in the components directory.
* Start firefox
* Install spellcheck.xpi from: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/moz...c3/windows-xpi/
* Shut down and restart firefox
* Install spellcheckerfe0_4_0.xpi from: http://cgi29.plala.or.jp/~mozzarel/addon/f...d/spellchecker/
* Shut down and restart firefox
* Download your dictionary of choice from: http://downloads.mozdev.org/dictionaries/
* Shut down, restart firefox, and go spell check something

this is from another person, i'm not taking credit for it, but you should look into it.

spell-en-US.xpi <----english dictionary (i doubt any of us need a bulgarian one) so make sure you pick this one. Hope it works out for ya man.

ps, it's not working for me, and the zip version is also ...not working, so I just reinstalled it, (the spell checker comes up but does nothing, i'm a human spellchecker anyways)
