Firefox spell checker


Recommended Posts

I remember when Firefox 2.0 came out there was a spell checker built into it. I'm currently running version 2.0.0.3 and can't find the spell checker anywhere. Was this feature removed or is there a known bug?

I don't seem to have it working anymore, since I installed something, I think since I installed Menu Editor, but I changed everything to default and this is still all i get.

Goto Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> "Check my spelling as I type"

Yeah it's selected, but does not work in any forums I use including this one. I know my spelling is not perfect so it's not like I am not making any mistakes for it to detect.

What all extensions are you using? People had problems with spellcheck after using input related extensions like Mouse Gestures.

Well, you can always re-enable it. Atleast disable it for finding out what's causing the problem.

• Completely uninstall Firefox.

• Delete the Mozilla folder present in %USERPROFILE%\Application Data and %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data.

• Reboot.

So is there any way I can still use Menu Editor without breaking my spell checker? Is there another extension like it or something....i want both to work!!!

Checked out the forums for the extension, seems to be a known issue, but not fixed yet, nor not sure if its going to be fixed...hmm

*so I closed down firefox

and found the folder for it, and renamed the menuedit.rdf file to menuedit.rdf.backup

restarted firefox and then reedited my menus, now everything is working together

weird....

? Completely uninstall Firefox.

? Delete Mozilla folder present%USERPROFILE%\Application Data %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data.

? Reboot.

I am using Vista and therefore can't find those folders. I hope Vista is not the problem in the first place...

it is menu editor.. i installed it once, and because menu editor BLOCKS anything that isn't allowed, all suggestions for spelling are blocked from appearing.

you need to remove menu editor...
