Re: Getting Close
As I understand it, spellcheck is scheduled to land several days after the 1.0 branch is cut. What do you mean by 'google toolbar', you can probably get the same functionality with keywords or http://easysearch.mozdev.org/ [have never used it]...

There's the sidebar which has an option to search on google. Google also has a Google Sidebar available. Also you can type in your search word in the URL bar, pres down arrow to select "Search "" using Google" and have it work. In fact teher are so many ways to search in Mozilla that mpt decided its a usability bug! See item 6 on http://mpt.phrasewise.com/stories/storyReader$35. And yet you need a Google searchbar Pratik.
