In g mail which is said to use the browsers auto correct, even the simple name Victor is not recognized, then changes it to vict which is no option and gives no ability to use any word sensible. Closing a note to grandma "Love" changes to a nonsense word. I have made no changes, but there was an update to Firefox. Please this is crazy, and makes it nearly impossible to use my email. Thanks, Victor Brodt

Note that you can't make Firefox correct words that you add to the personal dictionary. Firefox will flag such an added word as misspelled, but won't offer the correct spelling as a suggestion.
