Review for United States English Spellchecker by MJS
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
WORKS, and and that includes the British version as well.
SOLUTION:
You can't use the [download-button] to add the dictionary file to your programme. Or in my case, a new clean thunderbird (ver 31) install.
Give the developers a break, it does all work, but sometimes you have to work at it to get it right. If the button doesn't work, then right click it and download the file->link to a directory.
Go to the add-ons manager, and select install from file (do it from where you saved that *.xpi file)
Accept all warnings. Restart the programme, and - volar' - you now have your spell-checker installed.
Very useful, and free, and just brilliant.
