I tried this config thing at first and it didn't work. But I left it with the number 2 adjustment as suggested.

So then I went to fire fox's browser tools, then add-ons, then Get add-ons and looked up dictionaries.

Scrolled down the list and downloaded all the English dictionaries. Restarted Fire Fox and now the spell checker works for me!

Hope this helps you guys!

Works like a charm after restarting Firefox.

I just found Tech-Recipes today and I'm pretty jazzed with all the cool tips I'm finding. Thanks for the site.

Sorry, Dianne. This only enables spell checking with firefox 3 and does not enable spelling checking across all of vista.

I would like to do this step but can't seem to find the correct place to begin with Vista. I assume by changing the default value to 2, it will also then spellcheck in Instant Messaging, such a Yahoo!IM?

I am a bit computer challenged in certain areas and am not even sure how to "open Firefox3!
to get to a Location Bar. Please, any detailed explanation would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for taking your time to read this pathetic cry for help!
