Re: Check your spelling as you type When I select this option, is Firefox checking with a built-in dictionary, or uploading every word that I type in order to perform the comparison on the Firefox site? Firefox Version 80.0.1 Windows 10

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

Firefox uses a builtin dictionary that is stored in one of the omni.ja archives in the Firefox program folder. Note that not all locales come with a dictionary builtin for licensing reasons. You can browse these omni.ja archives via resource:// protocol links.
