Firefox: Inline Spell Checker

If you happen to see a word underlined in red in the new version of Firefox, it is the inline spell checker working. You can disable this feature (or enable the feature) by right clicking in the field in which you are writing. You will see an option to “Spell check this field”. Left click to either enable or disable this feature.

With the spell checking enabled, there will be a red line under each word that does not find a match in the dictionary. When the spell check is enabled, there is an option (”languages”), when you right click. Hover the cursor over the “language” option and an “add dictionaries” option will appear. Just click and add the necessary dictionaries. The included spell check in Firefox eliminates the need for a separate application - and, perhaps, speed the work along with correct spelling.
