Spelling check for Firefox

Many of you may already be aware of this excellent extension, but I’ve only just discovered it.
A frustration of mine for a while has been the lack of a method to spell check posts I make in forums or blogs (like this). I’m a reasonable speller, but a not so good typist, and for long posts I’ve even resorted to cutting and pasting into Word, checking the spelling and then reversing the process back into the forum or blog.

Then today I found out about Spellbound – a spelling checker extension for Firefox. This thing is brilliant! It has a proper dictionary for English (Australia), and it work like a dream.
When you combine it with the Textile tool, Contextile, you have two excellent tools handy at a right click for when I’m writing in Textpattern .
