    Hi, i'm not sure if i am posting in the right area but anyway... on my PC i have noticed that when i type something in FF (eg. if i am posting a thread), a spell checker automatically checks each word. If something is spelled wrongly... an orange dotted line appears under it.

    I can't for the life of me remember installing any extra plug-in etc... Does anyone know wher i can get the plug-in so that i can use it on my laptop... thanks

    I think it comes with the newer version of Firefox. Check for updates.

    It's a FF add-on ain't it?

    Search their add-on development center.

    You're probably using Google Toolbar for Firefox.

    Right-click on an orange-dotted line for spelling suggestions and other options.

    I don't think so. I have it working, and have no such plug-ins installed. Maybe try:

    Right click the textarea -> and click "Spell check this field".


    It has nothing to do with Google and its toolbar either...
