OMG! I just installed the FireFox 2 [1] browser and noticed something. It spell checks form entries as you type! Just as Word and its ilk do in their documents.
Since its inception, I’d been using FireFox just because of speed, safety and security advantages. I added the Google toolbar [2] only a month ago for spell checking in form entry fields. Then MSIE 7.0 came out, and had almost all the features of FireFox 1, and was nearly as secure. So this week FireFox riposted with its version 2, to stay a step ahead in both features and security.
As I was typing a response this morning, I noticed the Word-like squiggly red underline. Puzzled (because I hadn’t manually started the Google spell check) I rt-clicked, and it suggested the word I meant to type.
Yay! FireFox 2 is the Bloggers’ bee’s knees. No, I’m not actually that old.

I’m not sure if version 2 requires separate installation of the Google toolbar because I already had it. Maybe all you need is FireFox 2. Someone try it and let me know.
