Anyone have a link to get the equivalent of ieSpell that will work from Firefox?

After Doug's question about a spell checker for IE, I had the same question re FireFox. I found and installed AspellFox from
http://www.svarteper.com/ff/aspellfox/
It works O.K. though not as well as ieSpell. I am having problems with adding words to the directory, but it is most likely a user error (mine).
RC and Samantha suggested SpellBound, so I gave it a try. Turns out the link supplied is for an older version which will not install on FireFox 1.5.0.7 (or most any any other 1.5.0.x level). There is a development version of SpellBound which does work (apparently very well) with current versions of FireFox. The development version is at:

But before you get carried away, the new FireFox 2.0 will include a Spell Checker natively. FF 2.0 is due to be released on 9/26/2006, so it might be smart to just sit and wait for a few more days. You will have to un-install SpellBound anyway when you install FF 2.0 (at least that is what I read)
