Thanks TOF and telstar. Have lots of extensions I really love. This one I really need. Installed beautifully-all parts. Terrific. Thanks to you both. These extensions just get better and better. Vive Firefox!!!

* Thank God for spell check! I need all the help I can get

Ain't that the truth (speakin' for myself); then there's Spell Checker.

Why would you need a spellchecker in Firefox? It's just a browser...oh, wait, I get it...because of writing posts and filling out forms 'n' stuff 'n' junk.

Anyway, notice the site didn't mention Thunderbird? That's cuz it has a built-in spellchecker.

Have been waiting for this. Thanks for the headsup.

It appears SpellBound is no longer available for Firefox 1.0.1. The above link no longer works and when I visited the Firefox extensions site, SpellBound was no longer listed.

Take a look here...Firefox 1.0 / 1.0.1 Installation

Telstar, thanks for this link. I installed SpellBound and it appears in the toolbar but is disabled. My next option is to download the SpellBound file, save it, then drag and drop it to the extension manager for installation. Where is the extension manager?

Thanks

You can get to Firefox's Extension Manager by going to Tools >> Extensions >> Click on it and you will get a window with the Extensions you already have on Firefox and a link at the bottom where you can down load other extensions. You can also uninstall extensions with the Extension Manager.

hmm....SpellBound will appear disabled in the Toolbar (greyed over) but, once you start a reply it should automatically activate. You should also see "Check Spelling" with the SpellBound logo in the right-click menu when you right-click in the reply window.
Is it still disabled when you are composing a reply or post?

Yes, even when I compose, the SpellBound will remain disabled. SpellBound worked fine when I used Firefox 1.0 but since I updated to 1.0.1 SpellBound will install but remains disabled. I tried the install by dragging and dropping the file into the extension manager and got the same results of it being disabled.

Are you using Firefox 1.0.1?

No, I'm still using v1.0.
I'm learning not to be too hasty in jumping on the band wagon right away when it comes to Firefox updates.
And, I see too many users in the Firefox Forums with problems after they've installed v1.0.1...
e.g. some extensions don't work with v1.0.1, etc.
(lol...I haven't even installed SP2 yet...I ordered the disk last August but don't want to open that can of worms). Again, in some technical Forums there are still users complaining of SP2 after they've installed it.

So, I thought I'd wait for "the smoke to clear".
My v1.0 is working fine, I'll update when I think it's safe and I'm comfortable there won't be any ramifications.

Have you tried uninstalling any and all SpellBound versions you now have?

Try that and then do a clean install from the link supplied and let's see how it goes.

After the uninstall, go to Firefox>File>Exit then go to your Task Manager and close all instances of firefox.exe and firefoxpreloader.exe (if you have that extension) before restarting Firefox and installing the new version of SpellBound.

Then restart again after the install.

Well, I guess that explains why SpellBound is working for you with v1.0 and is not working for me with v1.0.1. Yes, I've also been to the Firefox Forum and see many people are having all sorts of problems with v1.0.1. So far SpellBound has been my only problem as the other extensions I used with v1.0 are working fine with v1.0.1. Luckily I still have the Firefox 1.0 Setup Application saved and if I should run into anymore problems with v1.0.1, I will reinstall v1.0.

Thanks for your input.
