Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I cannot give this a rating right now as it does not work on my machine. I use this on my laptop and have no problems with it. Windows 7 64 bit, Firefox 6, has not worked in Firefox 5 either. Spell checking as I type turned on. Red underline shows up in text boxes under misspelled words. No suggestions offered. Under Languages in context menu, only see "Add dictionaries...", English/United States does not show up. Dictionary installed from this page. Removed and installed again. Does not show up. Listed in Add Ons window. This sucks, it means that the dictionary will tease me with red lines and never help with spelling. Firefox is convinced that I do not have a dictionary installed even though it is there and will therefore, not use the installed dictionary. What do do?

This is working on Windows 7 32 bit Firefox 5 laptop so good I will give it 5 stars as a most often used plugin. Too bad that I cannot use it. Laptop shows an installed US/English dictionary. Desktop won't acknowledge it. Shame.
