Type in the term "Darfur" anywhere on Firefox and it comes up with red dots as if it is spelled wrong. It is not.

The term "Darfur" should be correctly shown as spelled right.  

If you are unfamiliar with the Crisis in Darfur, then research it.  It is a genocide happening in Africa and 500,000 have already be slaughtered, 2.5million have been displaced. 


This should not be forgotten.  I wish that you could simply change this to the correct spelling so that this tragic event can be recognized as real.

Thanks,
