is it my eyes or did the top bar get darker?

Crabtree · 11-12-2009, 10:23 PM

I'm not sure if it something I just noticed but the bar above where is says the address and the log out on the right hand side. Is it me or is it darker. Sometimes it seems so dark it's hard to read the printing in it. If I click on the page to refresh it will change.
Maybe I"m getting senile?

OK now that I'm done my rambling can we get a spell checker added. My spelling lately seems to be getting worse!

Hmmmm, firefox will check my spelling as I type?

Haven't noticed the color thing.

Crabtree · 11-12-2009, 10:38 PM

Is firefox a program that you installed?

LisaT · 11-12-2009, 10:42 PM

Firefox is the browser that I use instead of Internet Explorer. I also have an add-in for firefox that blocks most advertisements, like the ones at the top of these pages

A spell checker would be nice.

what? WHAT? It doesn't do it for me!!!

Is it an add on or a setting?

LisaT · 11-13-2009, 12:34 AM

I dunno, it just does it, ever since in was installed. It underlines misspellings, just as if I'm in Word. Sometimes I don't pay attention though...or I post from my phone...or usually use know instead of now or then there's no...

crabby -- i have not noticed any change in my top bar. perhaps its a glitch in the stylesheet that you're using. i changed mine to fabulae in preferences. the color and contrast just works better for me.

Doesn't underline for me either but if I'm not sure about a word (or know I spelled it wrong!) in firefox you can right click on the word and it gives alternative spellings. Have to go look for how to make it automatically underline misspellings.

SunCzarina · 11-13-2009, 10:05 PM

It should be automatic. Maybe you turned it off?

I want to say that it being on by default may have to do with your o/s but sorry, it's too late to boot up my xp box to check on that.

This will tell you how to check if it's enabled -scroll down a page

Sandra, if you follow the link at the top to Products and goto Firefox, you can download the browser from there. It's much friendlier than internet explorer.
