by Firefox user 14486578, 6 years agoThe crux lay in the version of Firefox. To all who run into the same problem while using Leap 15.0 OpenSuse,
this finally solved it y system had version 60 of Firefox, while it only ever works from version 63 upwards.
Tried after regular (via add-ons in Firefox add-ons menu ) installing, immediately worked.
By now you are probably in an asylum trying to regrow hair you ripped from your skull,
embittered by the lack of help Linux users were able or willing to provide.
You can come out now, retake your place in society, stop the foaming about the gob.
All's well that ends well, thank you very much @dev, for the quick response and for ridding me
of that linguistic monstrosity, the US " English" dialect, may it rot in all seven hells of legend.

Mozilla converted all dictionaries here to WebExtensions.
You must have the latest Firefox to be able to use them (V63 or above).
Then follow the instructions on my guide:

- Rated 5 out of 5by zenscape, 2 years agoThe big failing of Firefox is the lack of correction as you type. This addresses it 100% for me. Thank you, Marco!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17608574, 2 years agoThere are some words missing, but let's acclaim the author's big work for making it!

posted 2 years agoYes, there are thousands of words missing.
I can't find them all by myself, that is why I need users to e-mail them to me or open a ticket in GitHub.
Thank you, dear brother!

Works really well! Thank you. - Rated 5 out of 5by Dr. Chas A Bowles MD, 3 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Cyberknight, 3 years agoThis is one of the best dictionaries available on any platform/app/system. Not only has it the most complete set of words, venturing into many different branches of knowledge, but it's also very actively updated, with lots of words added and revised every month. If it's taken into account that this is an open-source initiative, it's not only amazing, it's really amusing. I wish dictionaries for other languages were this well maintained!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13420335, 3 years agoAn exceptionally well-kept and up-to-date English dictionary. Highly recommended. The generous author also has versions for LibreOffice and other apps on his web site (I use it for all other Hunspell-compatible apps like Notepad++, SoftMaker’s apps, and the like). The dictionary has been in continuous development for years and I doubt if you can find a better substitute for it. If you look at the change-log for each release, then you will see that hundreds, or even thousands, of new words and combinations are added, bugs are fixed, and corrections and significant improvements are made each time (on a monthly basis so far). Truly one of a kind operation that certainly takes a lot of time and dedication from the author. I have Marco’s dictionary installed everywhere and I take the latest version of it with me on a USB drive to install it on any computer that I happen to use. Kudos to Marco for supporting this gem for so long. I can see the love you are pouring into this work every day. Keep up this wonderful and significant work! <3
