Spell Checker for Firefox

Here is something that I came across today and thought some others might find useful.
http://spellbound.sourceforge.net/

It's a spell checking extension for Firefox, and it's easy to use. It helped me to correct 2 words in this post alone!

Hey for some reason I cant "see" this extention. I installed the plug-in and dictionary (yesterday, so firefox closed, restarted, all that), but where is the actual spell checking?

First of all make sure it installed properly. When I installed it I couldn't get it to work, then I realized that Firefox didn't restart properly, and there was an instance of it still left in the task list, which I had to end manually.

If the plugin is properly installed, then you should be able to start typing text in a text area like right here on the forum, then right click in that text area, and you should see an item called "Check Spelling" with a very colorful little icon beside it.

It works quite nicely. Provided I remember it's there. Hopefully I remember this better than I remember the preview button.

Wow.
Very nifty and useful.
Thanks for the heads up Zarxrax.

Provided I remember it's there.

Agreed.
I have a feeling I will somehow manage to forget to use it everytime.
