Where is the auto spell checker?

Before Firefox v8 became available the "auto spell checker" was an add on to the Google tool bar which is no longer available for current versions of Firefox. If the Google tool bar were available then we could get the "auto spell checker". I guess the question is why isn't the Google toolbar available any more!!
I have Firefox v9 on my iMac and Firefox v7 on my MacBook the spell checker in question works on my MacBook but not my iMac.

Google has stopped supporting their Google toolbar extension with Firefox 4.0 being the last (barely supported).

Firefox has had a built-in inline spell checker since Firefox 2.0
Only the en-US (maybe fr) comes with a dictionary due to license reasons so you may need to install a dictionary if nothing is listed in right-click->Languages

  • How do I disable the auto spell check? My g-mail already has this

    I don't need 2 spell checks, and when I send an e-mail, I can not get the red line to go away. Some of the words are not misspelled.
    Thank you!

    To turn off Spell Checking in Firefox:
    In the [[Options window|Options window]] , on the [[Options window - Advanced panel|Advanced panel]], untick 'Check my spelling as I type'.
    If the spell check is correcting a number words that aren't misspelled, it's possible that it's not using the correct dictionary. If you right-click in an area that you can type in, you should see a 'Check Spelling' menu item and below that a 'Languages' menu. Check in the Languages menu that the correct language is selected.

  • Lion auto spell check.

    lion has an auto spell check all over the place. Since I move between three languages, and Lion defaults to English this is a major pain. Where are the settings for changing the language of the auto spell check? or alternatively, how do I shut it off?
    It was irritating enough on the phone, now I have the same dam thing all over my Mac too!

    Use this tutorial... http://itracki.com/dev/mac-tutorials/mac-tutorial-disable-spelling-correction-os -lion/
    Open terminal
    To disable
    defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAutomaticSpellingCorrectionEnabled -bool NO
    To re-enable
    defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAutomaticSpellingCorrectionEnabled -bool YES

  • Hi, can someone please tell me why the spell check in pages doesn't work. I went to preferences and enabled this auto spell checker and have set the language to british english. But still it doesn't work while it works perfectly in TextEdit.

    Inspector > Text > More > Language
    Only applies to selected text, like making it a particular font.
    It is not a setting that sticks. If you continue to paste in text from elsewhere particularly the Internet it will have a different or None language set to it. You need to select it and make it B.E.

  • Requested auto spell check not worked for months - gmail uses Firefox's

    Tools Advanced setting is on auto spell check but has not worked for months - yes it had worked, probably for years. Looking at gmail for an auto spell checker I see that it leaves that to one's browser - Firefox.

    Your More system details list doesn't show the en-GB dictionary.
    If you do not have the en-US locale then check that you have a dictionary installed (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and selected.
    You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.<br />
    Also make sure that [X]"Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a tick.<br />
    You can also try to toggle the "Check Spelling" item off and on again.

  • Live / Auto Spell Check

    Hello,
    My company deals with a large amount of artwork on a daily basis and we need to keep getting the artwork out of the door. Is there a plug in or script that has a live or auto spell check? Something like Microsoft word that highlights a word that is misspelled right after it has been typed.
    Thanks so much!

  • Auto Spell Check Email, but not SMS

    My automatic email spell checker is a very important part of my life when I'm typing emails with my thumbs.  However, I absolutely hate an auto spell checker when I'm SMS texting - as a tend to abbreviate.  I can seem to separate the two spell checkers my Tour.  If I turn on automatic spell checking on my outgoing email (what I want), I also get auto spell checking on SMS (what I don't want).
    Any way to get around this?
    Thanks,.

    hmmm, you just made a darn good reason for the spell check in SMS.

  • We get paid with cheques and organise specialised coloured aluminium. I can not rid my mac book pro or my IMac of the american spell checker.

    We get paid with cheques and organise, specialised coloured aluminium. I can not rid my apple devices, mac book pro, desktop IMac or IPhone of the american spell checker.
    Everything, Numbers and Pages et al, always default back to US English. To cap it all we sell luminaires (yes this is a word used in our world of lighting design everyday) Mac and Microsoft always default - my docs have more words underlined in red that not. I once found a permanent solution for Microsoft that removed US english - and then the laptop died. Can anyone rid me of this irritation.

    GOT IT FIXED!  WOW!
    I did better than filing a bug report.  I went to Apple support, chose chat support.  When it wanted $15 or was it $19 I filed an exemption which was a choice on the page, based on the fact that I recently upgraded to Yosemite.
    Got the chat fellow and here we go!!!!  ;-)  First off he sent me this app so he could see my screen.  Then he had me do a few things  like move the system configuration folder to the desktop and repair permissions.  Then he had me reset the SMC and Pram.  Nothing helped, all the ghost computers still showed in the finder.
    As a last resort he had me reset my Apple Airport Extreme.  Wala!  Ghost Computers GONE!  He said it was a combination of stuff but mainly it was the airport extreme when I installed Yosemite.  Something to do with my network.  We'll see if it holds or if the problem comes back but as of now there's no more ghost computers in the sharing part of the finder.
    Thanks to all who offered suggestions.  I hope maybe this helps someone else.

  • Where is the auto blend layers in elements 13

    where is the auto blend layers in elements 13? why don't i have a tool bar on the elements page?

    That function doesn't exist in Elements, only Photoshop; however, some people have written plug-ins that will allow it so if you're seeing a tutorial maybe that's the situation.
    Elements 13 does have several layer blending functions, so will any of those work for what you want to do?
    Here is a thread where someone talks about using an recorded PS action in PSE 12 and they include a .zip file in post #14.  I don't know if it'll still work in PSE13 or not:

  • Where are the auto recovery files stored for Visio 2010?

    I have auto recovery set for every 5 minutes.  I have been working on a file that has been saved several times a day.  Today when just moving a shape Viso 2010 crashed after I had been working on the file for over 2 hours.  Auto recovery popped
    up every 5 minutes indicating it was saving the file.  After the crash the ony file I could find was the file as it was when I first opened it this AM.  None of the work done today was saved. 
    Did auto recovery completely fail?  Where can I look for the auto recovery file? 
    I have not done a reboot because I am afraid that if the file exits it will be gone for sure if I reboot.  Any suggestions are welcome.
    There must be a temp file or something that I can look for but not sure what the extension would be or the location.
    Hopefully someone here can help.
    thanks,
    greg

    How do I know? You state the the auto-save file extension is .vxd - that's the Visio document XML format.
    You can change this in File -> Options -> Save
    As for the crashes, are there any messages when a crash occurs?
    Check that the video drivers you have are the latest, try a different screen resolution to see if that changes anything and turn off or change any screen accelerators.
    -- Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd. http://www.sandrila.co.uk/ Engineering and software shapes for Visio.
    My mistake - the file format is .vsd - standard visio format
    Here is the info from the event viewer for the specific crash that caused me temporary pain.

  • Where do the auto save in Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014?

    I was just working in Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 and my computer shut down for some reason. I know my project had been auto saving throughout this morning, so I imagined there would be a backup of my project somewhere on my computer, but I couldn't find it in the usual places. Thus I wonder if CC 2014 is automatically configured to save somewhere in the cloud. However, when I check my files in the cloud, it says they are empty. Any suggestions for where to look so I don't have to lose the past few hours of my work? Thanks!

    Go to Project Settings/Scratch disks.
    There you will find the path where the auto saves are located.

  • The Firefox spell checker has the option for me to add custom words to the dicionary. Please tell me how to delete a word from this file of custom words because a mispelled word got in there by mistake.

    I want to know how to delete words from the custom dictionary in the spell checker that I put there by mistake.

    In your profile directory, the file is '''persdict.dat''' and you should know how to get to your profile. One way is to enter '''about:support''' in the location bar then click on "Open Containing Folder". Or go through the Help menu > Troubleshooting Information > ...
    You can edit with wordpad, or notepad++, but not with notepad,
    because there is one word per line and you will not see that in notepad after Firefox has updated it.&nbsp; Update after closing Firefox.
