I love Firefox and want to upgrade to v 6.2, but I understand I cannot use my spell check with this version. Is there another spell checker I can use. cyberia2@verison.net

I am using windows vista with a google toolbar that has a spellchecker button. I have been told if I upgrade to Firefox 6.2 I cannot use the spellchecker. Is there another spellchecker that can be installed?

I really want the upgrade, but would feel lost without a spellchecker.

Firefox has had a built in spell checker for over 5 years.

Excellent, the-edmeister! Just now loaded the new v6 for Firefox and yes, the spellchecker is there and works great. Thank you for the quick and very helpful reply.
