    Hello

    Sorry if this is the wrong forum, I'm not sure what forum it should go in.
    I use firefox.

    Thank you

    Moved to comp and tech.

    Options->Advanced->Untick the box that says check my spelling as I type.

    How do I find the options?

    I've searched on the net and found this (I am getting pissed with gooogle, it should be an enabler not a pediment)

    http://www.ehow.com/how_7190054_disable-instant-search-permanently-firefox.html

    When I got to Step 4 I found this instead of what should have been there, no dialog box and double clicking it turns it from false to true? I didn't go any further as I didn't want to **** anything up.

    general.useragent.compatMode.firefox;false

    Instead of

    general.useragent.extra.firefox

    Hope this is what you mean

    I must admit I can't take the credit.
    Same thing was happening to me and I got this from someone on boards.
    I cannot remember who.
