Well worth $10 to now be able to check spelling in Firefox! SpellBound hasn't worked since a couple of Firefox updates ago.

This puts an icon in my already crowded toolbar that uses the OS spellchecker to check text in any window. This is a good thing!!

And it still won't catch its/it's, your/you're, there/their, than/then, and so on.

Could it be because it is checking SPELLING and not GRAMMAR? OR, is it supposed to do both? I don't know this particular application, hence my question.

The issue is, their/they're and then/than aren't grammar issues. "I'm taller then him" is just a nonsense sentence.

Spell checkers don't know if you're using the completely wrong word or not. They know only if it's spelled correctly or not.
