One more thing I found intresting about firefox is its dictionary add on. I never have fear about misspelling any word even though I am non english speaker.

A dictionary is one thing I always need. I have never been able to spell very well. I usually have a word processor open when ever I'm typing something so I can use it to check my spelling. Then I have to copy and paste everything. With a built in dictionary, I can cut out that step and speed things up a bit.

Having the spell check feature in almost any window is wonderful. Especially since I can even check the more obscure language that I use (Welsh) without having to switch programs.

Are you talking about Dictionary Tooltip? I love this plugin so much! :-) English is my first language but I still rely on it. I hate mispelled words.

Yeah it does make it some much more easiar than just going to google and using the online dictionary. I use to have to do that all the time but now I can just click on the dictionary in firefox and go!

Yeah I keep on using the dictionary in firefox specially if I am not sure how to spell a certain word. It keeps my word done easier.

I think they should implement a thesauraus on there as well. That would be a great idea. Something to go along with the dictionary.

Thanks for this post! I am a longtime Firefox user and never realized this add-on existed.

Yup its is very useful. Before switching to firefox I always have embarrassingly typographical errors whenever I post in forums such as this one.

Well mikego, you could still use some external software to check spelling errors on IE. Have you heard about wordweb?

I never really use the dictionary a lot but it would be nice to just have it around because we just don't know when it could come in handy.
