Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Firefox on a Reddit post or comment, switching between rich text and markdown editors with a spelling mistake. Trace the editor integration from the browser extension entry points; done means spelling and grammar errors are highlighted in both editor modes.
