Firefox automatically checks user input form elements for spelling errors and underlines them (like Microsoft Word). Usually you can just right-click on the incorrect word and Firefox presents you with a list of suggested corrections. In the case of Google Docs, however, while Firefox still underlines misspellings, Google overrides the right-click action with a JavaScript menu (Cut, Copy, Paste, etc.). So how can you access Firefox’s spell-check suggestions?

The Answer: Simply hold shift and right-click.
