Where is the auto spell checker?
Before Firefox v8 became available the "auto spell checker" was an add on to the Google tool bar which is no longer available for current versions of Firefox. If the Google tool bar were available then we could get the "auto spell checker". I guess the question is why isn't the Google toolbar available any more!!
I have Firefox v9 on my iMac and Firefox v7 on my MacBook the spell checker in question works on my MacBook but not my iMac.

Hi RayJ,
You should take a look at the article How do I use the Firefox spell checker?. This will show you how the built in spell checker works and how you can manage it.
Hopefully this helps!
Google has stopped supporting their Google toolbar extension with Firefox 4.0 being the last (barely supported).

Firefox has had a built-in inline spell checker since Firefox 2.0
Only the en-US (maybe fr) comes with a dictionary due to license reasons so you may need to install a dictionary if nothing is listed in right-click->Languages
I am aware of the "built-in" spell checker. What I am inquiring about is the one that automatically makes the corrections that is now missing not the one that requires clicking on a word to see the corrections. Is the "auto" correction version available anywhere?
That was probably part of the old Google toolbar extension. Firefox never had any such auto-correct spell checking feature but the inline spellchecker that has existed since Fx 2.0
