Check this out:



Any idea why when I right click anywhere in the browser the "surprised" spell correction thing comes up? Weird huh? Lol

Firefox has obviously grown weary of you spelling it wrong. He hates it so much he altered his own code to show you.

In other words, yeah, wierd.

Was the word "suprised" (Or similar misspelling) been selected?

Try reinstalling the add-on.

With any luck you'll be able to turn a fully functioning program to a crashing program with just a little bit of coding.

Yea, the dictionary tabs aren't on that menu, so it is definately a GUI bug.

LOL, thanks for the responses, they were hilarious to read.

I simply closed Firefox and opened it again and it was taken care of. I just found it funny, odd and amusing

Good thing it was the word 'surprised' and not some other word, lol.

Actually, I was surprised to find something I didn't know about Firefox by reading this thread.

If you highlight a word on the page and then right click on it, you have the option to search the word on the Merriam-Webster dictionary.

Useful to know...

If you have it installed as a search engine. For me it only allows me to search Google for it.
