Firebird (Firefox) Spell Checker
I've been holding back on making the move to Firebird as my full time browser based on one reason. Spell Checking. IESpell is an amazing plugin for Internet Explorer and is something I can no longer live without and use daily. However, there is now an equal if not better solution for Firebird. Details on how to get this plugin are explained over at dennis.ca. Just click the links and allow it to install.
Move over IE, Firebird just moved into being the first item on my quick lunch bar.
Be sure to also check out the Web Developers toolbar.
One more thing. This post was created and spell checked in Firebird.
Second, this appears not to work at all (other than seemingly installing just fine) with Firebird on a Mac, so I assume it relies on some sort of Windows voodoo.
After: Just ti test this damn spell checking thing. Hew well dos it work?
Spelled every word wrong. Found every correct word in the list provided. I believe this is actually better than any spell checker I've used before.
Apparently, ti, hew and dos are also words listed. If they were not I'm confident they would have been corrected as quickly and efficiently.
Thanks for the tip Steve.
I've gotten Torisugari's textarea
spell checker extension to work with Firefox. My guess regarding the
problems that you are experiencing is that your new Firefox program
directory doesn't have the composer.xpt file in it's components
directory.
I've created a web log post titled Getting textarea spell checking to work with Firefox 0.8 that runs through the process i used to install Firefox.
Hope this helps.
How can it be installed?
