If I use check my spelling as I type, is that just local?
If I use "check my spelling as I type", is that just local, or is it connecting online somewhere and transmitting what I type to see if it's spelled correctly? Just double checking...

The Firefox spelling checker works always locally. Some website may be using an advanced editor that comes with its own spelling checker and disable the Firefox spelling checker.
You need to have a dictionary installed and have a tick in "Check Spelling" to use the built-in Firefox spelling checker.

That depends on what you are using for this. Firefox uses it's own sub- program, but an add-on or exterior program may call it's web site.
I'm using stock Firefox for it. So does that mean it's not an online process?
