    I use this for firefox:
    Firefox Spell and Grammar Checker

    But i always use Opera (which has an awesome spell check) as my main browser so not really used the other too much

    What about this:

    Remove that add-on i just suggested and then do the following

    1. In the address bar of Firefox, type about:config
    2. Type layout.spellcheckDefault in the filter box
    3. Change the value from 1 to 2

    Is this a little better :) ?

    it is a built in spell checker

    layout.spellcheckDefault - Value 1 = Disabled (default)
    layout.spellcheckDefault - Value 2 = Enabled

    Setting it to 2 work perfect for me
