OT: Firefox Ver 2 Beta 1 or 2

[BBloke]

Hi All,

I've been using firefox for plenty of time and I've recently downloaded Ver 2 Beta. I have to say it just as sweet as previous incarnations with one great feature.

A spell checker

On the downside though, the majority of add-on extensions cease to work and there are few that have been updated but it is nice to see loads of reds limes under all the mistakes I've made.

I'm sure you are all zipping along with firefox but thought it was a worthy note.

A spell checker for Firefox again! Great news. I almost gave up using it when Spellbound wouldn't work anymore.

Thanks for the heads-up.

You're welcome.. its great news for you guys over the big pond but for us little men its awful.

I believe its American. Now things are being flagged when they shouldn't be.....all my colours are wrong... my favourites are all stuffed and thats just the beginning.

Boohooo!!!!!

I never did stop using a spell checker in Firefox!

Works magic too, be sure to download the required dictionary....and it doesn't work in Firefox Beta 2

Thanks for that Rog.
