Getting textarea spell checking to work with Firefox 0.8: blogipity: February 10, 2004 05:09 PM
A number of people have reported difficulties getting this extension to work in the new Firefox 0.8 release. I've gotten the extension up and running on my Windows XP machine by doing the following:
- Make a copy of the composer.xpt file in the Firebird components directory
- Uninstall Firebird
- Grab the stuff I want from my old profile (bookmarks, etc), which is still labeled Phoenix, and then delete the profile
- Install Firefox, but not starting the program immediately after the install
- Place a copy composer.xpt into the Firefox components directory
- Start Firefox
- Install spellcheck.xpi from:mozilla.org
- Shut down Firefox
- Install fromspellcheckerfe0_4_0.xpi : This site
(You can also get the composer.xpt file here as well in case you've deleted it)
- Shut down Firefox again
- Start Firefox

yes, begrudgingly and unfortunately :) I have to use Win 2k for work, I jump over to the wife's Mac every chance I get though.
