as you already may know...the mac os x features a built in dictionary...that can be accessed at any point by highlighting a word...then right clicking (or bringing up the menu/options), and selecting the option "Look Up in Dictionary." I use this feature heavily and it is present in every other app in the apps, so why is it somehow disabled on firefox? this really bothers me because i love firefox except for this simple little fact. will there be support for this sometime in the feature?

Cannot remember if it was changed but as of Firefox 3.0 it was supposed to use the AppleSpell on Mac and not the built in HunSpell.
