    Mozilla firefox browser

    Hello peeps

    I have just changed to mozilla....and in doing so thought WOW how bloody fast is it...until now its like the same speed as IE starting to wonder if they have alternating on and off peak times .

    Even so I'm getting used to it and I like its little add ons

    one question though...when I used IE I had ispell to fall back on, now there is nothing for me to do a spell check and I can't afford to get forum bashed over it again

    Now I thought I read somewhere that firefox automatically checks spelling! but if this is correct its not doing mine. is there something somewhere I need to tick?

    Tools>add-ons>Get add-ons>browse all add-ons.

    Or just google firefox dictionary.

    Here 'tis -
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:3

    There's an English (Australian) dictionary.

    While you're at it, Adblockplus and all-in-one gestures.

    Go to your Tools -> options -> Content and make sure you have the languages installed.

    You may want to add British English from the Tools -> add ons and download the applet for free.

    Isn't this where someone says...

    "I have a Mac blahdy blahdy blah."





    I use Mozilla and Opera on the Laptop. I think IE is the toyota landcrusier of browsers.

    Right click underlined word and it should offer spelling suggestions in the pop up menu.
