06/02/09 125 W - + 11 - 10 Firefox and Spell Checking


You're typing text into a form on a web page displayed using the Firefox browser. On some computers, the browser displays red lines under misspelled words. On other computers, it doesn't. Your workaround is simple, pasting every blankety-blank form entry into Microsoft Word, checking the spelling, correcting the spelling, then pasting back into Firefox. Got it? After a year of this, maybe more, you make a discovery. By right-clicking inside a form field on a web page, and clicking Check Spelling, you activate the missing feature. Firefox works like a charm, and you feel like a fool for not figuring this out earlier. Mr. Blogger does. Next step, figure out how to permanently enable this feature, for each web page visited...
