How many of you use Mozilla Firefox?
Well I have seen where many of Mylot friends have said they wish there was a spell check on Mylot so you can correct it before you post it. Well did you know that if you are using Mozilla Firefox as your internet when you are responding or starting a discussion it will underline the words you spell wrong. It is kind of nice because if you are like me and type so fast that you don't pay attention that you misspell it will point it out to you!
It is also a free download if you don't have it.
Do you use Mozilla Firefox?
Wow it even shows me if I didn't capitalize something that should be. :)

I began to use Mozilla Firefox for just about half a year, I found it is an interesting browser, for that if you turn off the browser with some sites still open there, then the next day when you open the browser again, you will find the sites are still there. I like the functiong of that browser.

I have noticed that and thought it was strange. I guess it's great if you are not done with what you are doing, but usually I start over.

Yeah you are right.. There are lot of person who are using firefox. Apart from spell correction I think mozilla firefox is the fastest browser. Internet explorer has lot of option which firefox doesn't have. But even though many prefer for firefox because of its speed.

On my computer Firefox doesn't seem any faster, in fact it seems a little slower at loading pages.

i use mozilla... and i prefer it much better than IE because i think it is more reliable... it is faster and also i can open many multiple windows at once for one task... it really helps me to save time as i can do multi-tasking... and yes, the spell-check is also great... it helps me to make sure that i didn't do any spelling error... take care and have a nice day...

I just changed to firefox and I have to say I love it. I tried it when it first came out but at the time I didn't see anything amazing. Now it is more then amazing! All the updating they have done is just great.
With IE I kept having it freeze, do illegals and on and on. I couldn't close out pages when I wanted either!
I got sick of it and thought I would try firefox again and man I'm glad I did! It is sooo much faster and stable. I love the stumble feature too!

I also have that problem with it freezing and not being able to close out anything.
But still as I am speaking I am on IE. It is just habit :) I think I need to move my desktop around so the icons aren't in the same place anymore.

I use Firefox and I am satisfied with it. Yes, it can check your spelling automatically and this is a very useful feature. Besides it, I like its add-on called "delicious". I can keep my bookmarks wherever I go.
I love China

Yes I use Firefox, and one of the things I have come to rely on is the spell checker. Also I couldn't live without tabbed browsing, which admittedly IE now has. The really indispensable thing about FF is the security, though. I feel safer browsing with it because it isn't so full of holes.

Lots of people have said that about the security, how can you tell how secure it is? IE also shows when sites are secure. How do we know there is holes in their security?
Thanks for sharing!

Yes I use Firefox, and I have the spell check thing on it too, but the thing I don't like about it is, if you spell a word wrong it doesn't tell you how to spell it right, sometimes I'll spell a word all kinds of ways, and it will still have the red line under it...lol. I like using Firefox tho, its alot faster, and my computer runs faster than IE.

I really like Mozilla Firefox for some different reasons. I think it is pretty reliable and I do also like the spell check feature. It really does help in the long run to help me out when I misspelled something.
I also type pretty fast at times and I make my share of spelling mistakes just like anyone else.

Yes I use firefox, for years I was using internet explorer but then my mom told me about firefox and said that it makes all the web pages run much faster. She said that I should give it a try and I of course downloaded it about a week ago and I love it. It not only makes my computer run faster but the whole spell check thing is awesome. On top of that the fact that you can save what you were working on so that you can continue at a later time is very nice for me since I do so many surveys and such stuff like that. I think changing internet browsers was the smartest thing that I have ever done and I owe it all to my mom for telling me to try it.
Happy Mylotting

I have it. I like it pretty much, except lately, it's been crashing. I'll be in the middle of something and all of a sudden it goes to my desktop. But that is a good feature. The thing is, one of the things it underlines is Mylot. It seems like if there's a word it doesn't know, it underlines it. But I can also go on sites that I can't with IE because I get the error message "IE.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows. Sometimes I get that message with firefox too, except it says firefox.exe has generated errors, but it doesn't happen as often. Overall, I like it.

Hi there. I've been using Mozilla Firefox for ages and am really satisfied with it. On the rare times that I am forced to use Internet Explorer, I find myself doing Firefox shortcuts before it registers that I'm not actually using Firefox. Firefox has a lot of great features and it is customizable with plug-ins and such to tailor-fit your browser to your needs.
And yes, its spell-check feature is indeed life-saving when posting to forums and/or blogs.

Firefox is a lifesaver for us poor spellers. You really find out how bad you really are at spelling when you are without spell check. I have come so accustomed to using spell check that I don't even try to spell words correctly. I just try to get the word close enough and have Firefox fix my errors.

I'm a big fan of opensource software. I use firefox all the time in fact, I'm using it now. I also use opera though.
Opensource software provides a real cheap alternative to bloated proprietary products and they keep up with the competition which in turn help in coming up with better software solutions, thus, I use them all the time.
happy holidays
