227367 - Spell checker for web page forms does not work with installer builds

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Installer, defect)

The spellchecker for web forms that is currently under development does not work
with installer builds because components/composer.xpt is not included with in
the installer builds.  I'm not sure this is a bug because Firebird itself seems
to work perfectly normally without this file.  However, it would seem that other
extensions might make use of files that the base product does not.  Shouldn't
all the components in the ZIP version be installed by the installer version?

What is the component for spellchecker?  I'm just curious, because I'd prefer
composer.xpt be removed from the zip builds, too.

I don't see it on

It is the responsibility of the extension to include all necessary parts.
