Spellchecker extension recommendation?


Recommended Posts

Can anyone recommend a spellchecker? The one that comes with Firefox doesn't check the spelling in most forms and I have installed it on many systems, always the same.

Any recommendations for alternate extensions?

You can always right-click in the boxes, and tell firefox to spell check, but there is no memory or options to make it do so every time.

Which forms doesn't it work with? I never noticed it not working in any when I was using Firefox 2.0.

I just found out, there were no dictionaries installed! At least one should be installed by default (and no, there isn't one installed by default)

I am still having to manually ask it to spellcheck fields, though :/

there is an about:config entry that can make it check any input field (very annoying though). I can't remember what it is now so just filter for spell and change it to like 1 or 0

about:config layout.spellcheckDefault. and set it to 2 and it will spellcheck all fields.

the built in spell checker doe remember your settings, and it does come with a default dictionary. although the dictionary isn't exactly great.

the hunspell backend and dictionary used in Firefox 3 is a lot better.
