Use Firefox spell check

I had a question from a reader recently about the lack of a spell check feature in Yahoo Mail. Did you know that the Firefox browser has a built-in spell checker that you can use anywhere online?

Let’s learn how it works. Open Firefox and click on the three-line menu icon at the top right. Choose Options from the drop-down menu.

Scroll down to Language and make sure the box next to Check Spelling as you type is ticked.

Here’s an example of the spell check in action using Yahoo Mail. You’ll notice that misspelled words have a red squiggly line under them.
