First - make sure that the dictionary extension has been successfully added to Firefox. To do this, go to Tools -> Extensions on the Firefox menu. Ensure that "DictionarySearch" is listed (the most current version is 0.7). Firefox does require a restart after installing a new extension...but I'm assuming you have restarted the browser since you initially installed the extension. To check a given word in the dictionary - you just highlight the word (or words) ... right click ... and select "Dictionary Search for 'highlighted word here'". Hope that helps :) -Chris |

You can get to it by visiting the plug-ins section on the Firefox website. Hope that helps :) -Chris |
I saw the dictionary function, but is there a program out there similar to iespell ?
Haven't seen one yet |
Thanks, Chris, for the "dictionary" instructions - it works fine. And for suggesting AutoForm, which I hadn't yet installed.

Other things Opera seems to do more easily than Firefox: One letter shortcut for back (z) and forward (x). One letter shortcut for zoom (0) and un-zoom (9) font/image sizes, one letter shortcut (6) to return to original size. Right click menu options for clone current window (good for following 2 different trails) and for go to URL (instead of cutting and pasting a text URL into a new window). One button switching between user and author stylesheets. |

been using mozilla firefox for about a month and a half now... i'm deleting it and going back ms-explorer. have problem accessing certain sites, some sites appear distorted, ans links do not work at some site. looks like they have quite a few bugs to work out. and it's not as fast as the explorer. can't say i haven't given it a shot.

As for some sites not working, I agree, some web designers have focussed too much on making their site work with IE, and not enough time sticking to the W3 standards. Having a browser that complies 100% with the W3 standards isn't a bug, it's how a browser is meant to be. |
