Firefox 3: Enable Spell Check in Text Boxes (not just textarea fields)

  • Open Firefox 3
  • In the Location Bar, input about:config
  • Click to get past the warning message that appears
  • Locate the Preference Name layout.spellcheckDefault
  • Double-click it and change the value to 2
  • Restart Firefox 3.
Note
[] Make a backup of your prefs.js file before you start editing. Then, if something goes wrong, you can restore it by copying it over the corrupt file.
[] If you can’t restore via a backup prefs.js file, you can exit Firefox and issue the command firefox -safe-mode to bring up the Firefox Safe Mode screen. Then, just select Reset All User Preferences To Firefox Defaults. This will restore all user preferences to their default values.
