Do you have an add on for spelling that has autocorrect?

I do get the red squiggly line, but I cannot find an add on for auto-correct as I spell. In other words it changes the most common misspelled words automatically as you type without having to right click on the word.

Dear Sheilarae, Thank you for your question.

Currently believe that there is some kind of automatic spelling correction.

So I recommend you this topic: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-firefox-spell-checker

What else can it be useful?

I haven't investigated the Add-ons site, which you can search either using:

If there are not suitable extensions, it could be that an external program which monitors typing throughout Windows might help. These generally are designed to expand abbreviations into words or full phrases, but could be trained also to fix typos.
