The grandparent point is the mis spelling of Fran-s-isco I believe, which as you repeat it here might be the weirdest Spellchecker bug for a while :/)

The HN text box defeats at least Firefox's spell checking.

Saf Farsisco. Falaffel. Hemmoridge. Antidisistablishmintirinismisms. Firifofxofox doesn't appear to caer! This whole comment passes with flying colours.

Can't repro. Firefox 41 on Gentoo Linux.

I'm using Firefox 43.0.3 on Mac OS X. I've got "Check my spelling as I type" enabled, and I don't appear to have changed any spelling-related about:config stuff. I wonder if it's something else affecting Firefox. Very odd.

Yes, exactly.

Indeed!

Also, I believe I've been ousted as a Canadian.

... Fixed this... :)
