Any one else annoyed with Firefox?
 
Well I got the upgraded browser . It underlines things that are spelled right according to language/ programming rules and saying they are incorrect. It even says I'm spelling my username wrong and I'm spelling it how it's written in the DOA4 game manual. Also words like steel/steal,okay/ok,not/knot,and even the colour fonts used to change the color/colour of the typed words. I think Firefox creators should of shelved this one till it got a bit smarter.

Ugh. I hear ya on the irritating 'spell check'. I helps sometimes though, and I've gotten good at ignoring it when it says I have something wrong and I don't.

You can disable it. o_O;

Alegretto 03-21-2007 05:57 PM

Seriously? HOW?

Kasumi 03-21-2007 06:19 PM

I was wondering how also.

Okay I done it. :D

I still have the last build of Firefox so I don't have that problem. xD I actually preffer the former version and don't want to upgrade. *Doesn't like to change to new programs*

poet`s playground 03-21-2007 08:22 PM

It's never bothered me...

Kasumi 03-21-2007 08:24 PM

@poet What version do you have?

poet`s playground 03-21-2007 08:26 PM

I have the most recent version. I like being able to save sessions, etc.

GainaSpirit 03-21-2007 08:43 PM

The new version of both Explorer and Firefox have that. It's just a thing we can select or deselect I think.

poet`s playground 03-21-2007 08:52 PM

Well fortunately I don't have to deal with Explorer :lol:.

shosho 03-22-2007 10:35 AM

It kind of bothered me at first, but I thought it's quite neat XD; It helps in my spelling since it's not all that great, so I can be sort of.. uhh... "cautious" in not coming out like a complete spelling-deficient? XD; Things like the emote faces will automatically be underlined and stuff, so it doesn't bother me much :3

I love the built in spell check - i use it all the time because my typing is horrible!


I don't really use the save session thing - i installed Google browser sync at work and home - I really like that I can do that because i generally have the same 9 tabs open when I'm online and this way they're always there instead of me having to re-open all 9 every time I switch computers.

GainaSpirit 03-22-2007 02:36 PM

I should probably update my firefox too. It'll make my spelling better. There is a langage selection I hope ?

Kasumi 03-22-2007 02:52 PM

You can add dictionaries.

Eroy 03-22-2007 02:59 PM

I love firefox!!! <3
It a million trillion times better than explorer. I like the auto spell checker too because I sucks at spelling. It makes me not look so much like an idiot. Now I just need an auto grammar checker.

True but I think it still needs a bit of tweaking.

mooglebunny 03-22-2007 11:57 PM

My dad's is weird, It doesn't know certain items, but it does usually get the ones that I misspell, because I am not always the best speller, or I don't type the word correctly. ^^ Of course, that's how life is I guess. xD I like the Firefox thing, it helps me. @[email protected] I think it does need a bit more tweaking, but otherwise, it's not too bad. I like how it reminds me to capitalize named things or certain proper things, like Monday, Firefox, etc. @[email protected]

Otohime 03-23-2007 12:22 AM

I've always used the spell check. It's only active when I'm writing things, so it doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I welcome it. ^^

poet`s playground 03-23-2007 12:43 AM

Well all of the programs on my computer have that, pretty much, so I don't really mind :).

Ancasta 03-23-2007 09:09 AM

I thought you could add words to Firefox's dictionary? That's what I did with the word cheongsam, because I type it a lot and got tired of seeing it underlined.

I for one like the spell-checker because I am both lazy and mildly dyslexic, which usually results in horrific spelling mistakes that I don't always catch. Seriously, my spelling is stuff of legend. :lol:

Kasumi 03-24-2007 07:22 PM

Maybe it's helpful but it still can be annoying.

Murchu Volpe 03-24-2007 08:00 PM

I think it's pretty useful, since it saves me the time of using google to spell check something, if I'm not sure about it. Though it does mark a lot of things wrong that I know are words. >< Just the same, I a quick right-click and add to dictionary fixes that.
