How do I remove the red squiggly line on the FireFox dictionary?

    Hi, I sometimes spell words wrong yet also use my slang sometimes which isn't always in the Firefox dictionary and sometimes i'm generally lazy. For example the words 'Firefox' and 'i'm' have been underlined by an annoying red squiggle which I then have to right click and change to 'Fire Fox' and 'I'm'. And I usually know when i've spelt a word wrong, so how do I get rid of the annoying red squiggle underneath the 'wrong' words? so that I can just right click words I know are wrong and correct them?

    Thanks.

    I like the spellchecker, I just don't like the red line that goes underneath the 'misspellings'. Is there any way to remove that?

    Open up Firefox and in the address bar type about:config and hit enter, then create a new integer (just right click a blank part of the Firefox window) and call it ui.SpellCheckerUnderlineStyle and give it a value of 0, close and open Firefox and see.

    also full info HERE

    I'm using US English Dictionary 4.0 if you highlight the word, right click, option for add comes up. BTW Firefox is in the dictionary already, maybe you need to update your dictionary.
