Hi everyone! If you have trouble spelling while you type, then consider downloading the newest version of Firefox, which has a built in spell checker as you type in text fields. It works just like a spell checker on most word processing programs you've used in the past. However, it does not check grammar mistakes. Enjoy!

Supported Operating Systems:
- Windows
- Mac OS X
- Linux i686

I'll wait till the final version comes out because this machine is just too damn rickeddy to run a beta on.

It is nice that they're including a spell checker. Hopefully people will actually use it. The current version of Gaim has a spell check plugin, which I love.

Will Firefox 2.0 run on Win98 SE?

Meh; I have bad experiences with spell checkers. I tend to use nonstandard words, acronyms, names, etc. a fair bit, and it marks all of them as wrong.

:(

Oh well, my spelling ability is nigh flawless.

While we're on the topic of spell checkers, there is an extension for Firefox called "Spellbound" for those of you who don't want to use a beta version. Of course, that might actually be more unstable than the beta version since it's meant for older versions of Firefox and it hasn't been updated for a while.

Does the Firefox 2.0 spell-checker support multiple languagues?

I'm not sure about multiple languages, but as you said you can probably find a plugin that does if it doesn't. I'd like to think it does.
