Firefox Version 2 Out Now
 

There's plenty of Firefox fans here. If you hadn't heard, or had it automatically updated, Firefox Version 2 is now available. And, as I just spelled "available" wrongly, I can see that the integrated spell checker, one of the new features, is working well.

Thats strange - when I click "check for updates" I get No updates found :confused:

If it hasn't auto updated, go to www.getfirefox.com

It is an improvement over V1.5

I have downloaded the new version but my email link is no longer at the top and I can't find the spell checker anywhere.

I think the spell checker IESPELL only works with Internet Explorer. It does workc fine in Internet Expelorrer 7 :D

Stephen I have now downloaded the American spell checker ispell it the up to date version, at the moment, it won't matter that its american.

The spell checker was integrated into the copy I downloaded. All I had to do was mis-spell a word in a box such as the one I'm typing in at the moment, and it would highlight the wrongly spelled word with a red underline.

Select Tools> Options> General> Check my spelling as I type.

You shouldn't need any add-ons of plug-ins.

I'm afraid I don't know about the integrated email button, I never bothered with one before, so I don't have one now.

Thanks yelvertoft. I have remove spellbound, it is like you say integrated I never saw that.

Thanks for aleert Duncan, hoo kares abowt speling anywae. Loaded but can't see any difference except logos in bookmark list, maybe useful if one can't read...oh and the idiosyncratic spelling is underlined, could cause some aggro on this forum
