Add A SpellChecker To Firefox

I have worked my fingers to the bone and found a spellchecker called "Spellbound" which can be added to Firefox. It consists of three separate small downloads, all found at this site and available for both Windows and Mac (http://spellbound.sourceforge.net/install.html#header ) which you download and install into Firefox. After installing, shut down and restart Firefox, then right-click on the toolbar, click "Customize" and you will see the "Spellbound" icon on the dropdown page that appears. You must "drag and drop" the icon from this dropdown page to a blank spot on the toolbar, then click "done" on the dropdown page. Now, whatever you are typing (this is called "having focus") can be checked for spelling by merely clicking on the Spellbound icon. The Spellbound icon will appear "grayed-out" until you have typed something onto a page. This typing then gives the program some text to "have focus" on. Now you have a SpellChecker that will work for any program that you browse to using Firefox! Note that this item is not yet on the official Firefox list of extensions. Neat, huh?
