posted 9 years agoBy default, yes. The description of the add-on explains this, but it got somehow removed. I've added it again. - Rated 4 out of 5by foxbrush, 10 years agoLooks a pretty good add-on. However, not working on FF developer 52.0a2 (2016-12-19) (64-bit). Nonetheless could see the LT button on the upper-right bar, nothing but a blank panel appears when clicking the LT button....

posted 10 years ago1.0.10 has just been released and should fix the most prominent issue. Saving the preferences still does not work. Update 2017-04-15: everything should work fine now again with version 1.0.13 - Rated 5 out of 5by demonicpancake, 10 years agoGreat! If you don't like sending your data to a third party network you can use this add on with a locally hosted instance on your computer or on a private network.
I simply run language tool from the command line like this:
languagetool --http --allow-origin "*"
default port is 8081 but you can specify another one by adding this : --port 666
then in the add on preferences simply change the LanguageTool API Server URL to:
http://localhost:8081/v2/ - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 6588308, 10 years agoLanguageTool is a very useful spell- and grammar checker. It is easy to use and open source. A must have if you want to write in a language that is not 100% in your grasp.
