Firefox not checking spelling as you type
Sat, 16/05/2009 - 19:07 — Dan
Firefox has a handy feature which can check your spelling as you type in forms. To enable this go to Tools > Options > Advanced > Browsing and check 'Check spelling as I type'. If this still isn't working you may need to install your dictionary (even if your dictionary is listed under Tools > Options > Content > Languages). To do this, go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:3 and download your language, install and restart Firefox. You should now have many squiggly red lines in your forms as you type (ok, maybe that's just me :o) ).

Good old Apple and the Mac
Good old Apple and the Mac bunch mastered this by making Mac's spell check everything as you type. Useful :)
There is no options sub-menu
There is no options sub-menu on the Tools menu, not on Firefox 3.6 OSX version anyway.
Is this tip only relevant for a specific O/S version of Firefox?
