Re: Spell Check For Firefox Users
Sometimes your built in pop up window blocker in Firefox will stop it from loading. If this happens there is usually a bar that appears right over the page and if you click on it you can allow pop ups for that site.
Check this page out for help: http://spellbound.sourceforge.net/faq#q301 Did that fix the problem?

Re: Spell Check For Firefox UsersQuote:
I usually keep the dictionary tool up in the corner, but this is easier I noticed with Thunderbird it doesn't work Of course, Thunderbird has it's own spell check so that's what it's supposed to do I'm sure ...just playing around with it...  I try and keep FF pretty lean, but this is a good extention Thanks for the tip Nathan |

Re: Spell Check For Firefox Users
Just a heads-up
I upgraded to FF 1.5 and it disabled spellbound as non-compatible I also tried AllSpell from the Mozilla site, that won't work either (maybe it's me, but I d-led & installed it twice) If anyone finds a spell check that works with FF 1.5, could you post it please? Thanks! |

Re: Spell Check For Firefox Users
Good news for all you Firefox fans (including me
 )Firefox 2.0 will have spell check out of the box. More details here: http://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox2/Sta...ne_Spell_Check The alpha version of the browser will be coming out later this week followed by Betas and Release Candidates. So, we have a little while to wait but its good to see that they are making these improvements.

Re: Spell Check For Firefox Users
The last time I tried to load a spell checker on here, it crashed my browser.
Wiped out my bookmarks and whatnot. This latest version of FF is giving me a hard time. |

You found a compatable one? Wait...I guess you didn't...lol... If I remember correctly, I may have re-installed this "upgrade" (1.5.0.1) Maybe it was the previous version though But the pop-up upgrade link did not work I went to the site to d-load the new version Did you try re-installing it?
