| I know that some of us would be interested in one. I have to switch from Firefox(which has that option), to Internet Explorer, which I don't like, but nothing is perfect in life. I downloaded free spelling checker and I'm testing it right now. I will let you know in a while if it is worth to use.

| Something weird is going on with my FF. Pages loading slow, but the worst is on the forums, it takes couple minutes before I send message to send it. It never happened something like that. I would blame Internet provider, but when I open IE, everything works OK. I can't figure it why. I scan all computer for full(viruses and anty-spy) and he didn't find nothing. Maybe I should reinstall FF, and download it again and don't use all the extras with new FF. | |

| The first thing I'd try is to clear the cache. If that doesn't work, I'd uninstall and reinstall. I am on Mac platforms exclusively now, but I'm allergic to IE in principle... I doubt it's the way Firefox is written... I suspect the installation, but I could be wrong. Do you know if it uses a different Java installation from IE? If so, that could make a huge difference in performance. Also make sure you have the latest version that isn't beta.
Sorry I can't help with the spell checker... | |

Sorry I can't help with the spell checker... I'm allergic to IE too, but temporary no choice. I checked everything and I have to reinstall FF, but I have to have time for it. I think about Java, maybe Thanks anyway! Spelling Checker for IE in case if anybody needs is Okay, it's not perfect, but very helpful. It works similar like my spell checker on website. Spell Checker Download. It tries to give you another something to install, but I refused and it's working. I virus checked it, it was okay. I right click and lick: "Check Spelling" and he gives me options: ignore(i.e: "ScooterNScotty" or similar), change(and there is plenty similar words to put instead) etc. For me works okay, but don't blame me if you won't be satisfied | |

| I hate IE, can't stand it. I use Safari and Chrome. Chrome is better than Firefox imo. | |

| Sometimes things can just get messed up in a way that it's easier to throw it away and start over again. Like a tangled string, in theory it is possible to undo all the twists and knots, but in practice....
Glass Onion, what do you like about Chrome? I haven't messed with it yet. I prefer Firefox to Safari, FWIW. | |
