How to disable spell checking in Firefox for a specific website/domain?
I want spell checking enabled on Firefox except in a few websites.
How can I permanently disable spell checking in a specific website or a domain, e.g. foo.xxx
?
I know I can right-click and remove the check mark from "Check Spelling" but that is temporary, I want something that saves the setting for that particular website or text field.
Solution 1:
Half solution but better than nothing:
You can turn off the default spell checking in Firefox ( layout.spellcheckDefault
set to 0
) and then use the https://addons.mozilla.org/pl/firefox/addon/languagetool/ extension. (recommended by Firefox)
- Now you can get permanent domain exclusion in this extension:
- or that way:
Solution 2:
If it's a website you have control over, you could set the spellcheck
attribute on the input
tags.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/spellcheck
<input type="text" spellcheck="false" />
I just used this attribute on a text field where I asked the user to enter a work order number that included letters and numbers. (Definitely not a dictionary word.) Worked perfectly.
