...and there isn't a new one yet.

I hate updates.

Spellbound 0.9.8.20060108 works fine with Firefox 1.5.03. Is there a more recent version of Firefox out?

Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :

Are you using the version 2 alpha?

Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :

using 1.5.03

Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :

Just found the one you were talking about, Dag, and that one installed fine. [Big Grin]

Thanks!

A while back somebody showed us how to use some style sheet extension to allow you to make it so that certain people's names on hatrack would be bigger or a different color. I really liked it, but he extension didn't keep up with the current version of firefox, and I lost it. I don't even remember the name of the extension. I wish I still had that functionality.

The new one spellbound underlines misspelled words as you type. Very cool, except when typing code into a forum post.

MPH, I believe the extension is called GreaseMonkey, but I'm basing that on what I know GreaseMonkey can do, not any specific memory that it was the one involved. If it turns out to be the right one, let us know.

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

It wasn't greasemonkey.

It was an extension that let you write your own style sheets for specific web pages.

Yeah, you can probably do that with greasemonkey, but this wasn't greasemonkey.

Found the thread.

Looks like it hasn't been updated.

You can still apply per site style sheet changes. Use the Stylish extension, or just go in and edit the userContent.css (its in the chrome directory of your profile.)

See here for how to change the userContent.css file.

where did you find an updaded version of spellbound. All I could find is 0.7.3 and that does not work with the latest firefox

Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :

I found it here.

I found it by copying Dag's version number into google and doing a search for it. It is the last link in the first post in that thread. I had already been there before searching, but had not read all the way down to the last link. [Big Grin]
