    Don't know what happened to start this but firefox has started to place a wiggly red line under any word IT doesn't deem as being spelt correctly, such as "malware" :-D I didn't install an add on for a spell checker, I do not need one. Can someone tell me how to stop it?

    Cheers

    Have you tried right clicking on the word and adding it to your dictionary? malware is one that wasn't considered a word for me, but I just added it.

    The thing is... when I am trying to do logs, can you imagine the vast array of words and files that firefox is underlining? It is such a disatraction :(

    Now then, I am seeing this:

    LOL That's one way to get rid of the squiggly lines, Em.

    So, you can't right click and just add them? Once you do, they shouldn't come up as being misspelled anymore. Hell, I've even added lol to it. :-D

    Hey Kes, try Tools>> Options>>Advanced Tab>> Uncheck - Check spelling as I type. Shut down FF and re-launch:)

    I don't want to be seeing crap like this. I don't wish to add a million words to it's spellchecker database just to stop seeing wiggly red lines, I want a simple option if there is one, to actually disable the damn thing. It isn't needed, I got an A in English :-D
