Firefox the Nitpicker

:: Saturday, Oct 28th 2006 @ 20:11 :: Computer & Gadgets, Language ::

Last night I installed the newest version of Firefox (2.0) and just now I noticed that it checks spelling in form fields!

What a wonderful feature! This might be a good reason to switch to using Firefox as my main browser (currently I’m preferring the good ol’ Mozilla). I had a list somewhere where I’d written reasons why I haven’t switched yet. I’ll have to look it up and see if something is still holding me back.

[edit Oct 31st]

There is at least one thing: I haven’t found a setting for “Autocomplete best match as you type” which is Mozilla’s Location Bar Autocomplete feature.

Also, why doesn’t it select a link when I search for text?

    I thought I had FF version 2 but apparently I didn’t. So I had to go download it. Now I have to upgrade stuff that doesn’t work in this version, but I like to check out the new stuff and the new themes, even though it’s my ‘also-ran’ browser… I’m still married to Avant and I just check websites in both to make sure they’re compatible.

    Yeah, I found a lot of users that use Firefox loved the spell-checker function! It’s awesome =)! Very useful and helpful!
