Is there a way to put the Spellchecker 5.0.1 on the toolbar?

When I had the Spellbound add-on there was an icon I could put on my tool bar. I could use it to spell check activity in my Auctiva description box. Spellchecker 5.0.1 does not automatically check spelling in Auctiva and I'm wondering if there was an icon on the tool bar perhaps it would act the same as Spellbound.

I would revert to Firefox 3.6 if I could but there are other things that don't work there and so I have to stay with 4.

I have the suggested dictionary addon - and I have changed the layout.spellcheck Default from 1 to 2

The Dictionary add-ons do not have icons like Spellbound did. To learn how to use the spell checker with the Dictionary add-ons, see:

Thank you so much for taking the time to write back.

I did everything in your involved reply.

   Everything is up to date
   There is a persdict.dat in my profile folder
   I read both the pages you sent and followed all directions that pertained to me
   Restarted FireFox - and then the computer just to make sure.


Spellchecker seems to work everywhere else - but still not in the Auctiva description box.

That is why I was so dismayed when Spellbound went away.

Auctiva's spellchecker was made by someone's cousin - I'm pretty sure - and they installed it on Auctiva as a favor to their aunt (I made that up - but you catch my drift).

It takes forever to load - it doesn't recognize the most basic of words (heck, it doesn't even recognize the word Auctiva!), you can't add words that you use all the time, and too often it just freezes up and has to be shut down by hand and the changes have to be made by hand because it will just freeze again on the word it froze on the first time.

If you happen to be a Mozilla Geek I hope you will see if there is anything that can be done about this.

There are sure a lot of people who don't want to switch from 3.6 because they like Spellbound. I'm willing to like Mozilla's spellcheck - in fact would prefer for it to be all-in-one - but I need something that works in Auctiva.

Thanks again.
