Ckeditor: Using Firefox built in spellchecker

ckeditor spell-checking

I feel a little caught between a rock and a hard place here. I want to use Firefox's built in spell checking without disabling Ckeditor's context menu as this renders it impossible to work with tables. Is there a way of getting the best of both worlds here?

You could try setting the disableNativeSpellChecker property to false - it should then be possible to see the native spell checker markings within the editor - however for me I couldn't get this to work in Firefox, only Google chrome.

You can then hold the ctrl key down when you right click to show the browser context menu (provided browserContextMenuOnCtrl has not been set to false)

HTH.
