Details

Lion has a feature that enables text fields to auto-correct spelling and long-press to access foreign characters. It appears this is not supported (tested with Firefox 13 on Mac OS 10.7.4). Support thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/929254 Reference: http://macs.about.com/od/OSXLion107/qt/Os-X-Lion-Automatic-Spelling-Correction.htm

We now support the long-press accent entry so this should just be about "Correct spelling automatically" feature.
