Firefox 2.0 beta 2 added a new feature, Spell check, it weird that they think "Okay" is not a word while Gmail thinks it is(No misspelling found).

Open this file with Notepad
"C:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxdictionariesen-US.dic"
add the word and sort it with this command:

sort en-US.dic /O en-US.dic

According to Firefox Microsoft, Google, Firefox, Thunderbird and Mozilla are all words.

Right path:
C:Program Files Mozilla Firefox dictionaries en-US.dic

It's hard to define a "word". Really hard.

One definition:
"A word is a unit of language that carries meaning."

I use Google Toolbar's spellchecker and I can right-click any word it marks as misspelled, and choose "add to dictionary". This comes in very handy...

I'm crazy. Firefox also has the "add to dictionary" option. But you can also do it my way.
