Firefox spell check single text lines
Firefox has a built in spell checker that simply put is a life saver but it has one problem – it does not work on single line text input fields! this problem is easily fixed: http://tech.chandrahasa.com/2010/06/07/firefox-spell-check-single-line-fields/
- Bring up your about:config page. You can do this by typing “about:config” in your address bar and clicking on “I’ll be careful, I promise” button
- In the “Filter” field type layout.spellcheckDefault.
- As you can see, the integer value is 1. Double-click on it, then enter 2 as its new value.
- Click OK.
Simple as that!

No longer works in Firefox 10. Possibly a bug but is extremely annoying, especially on Facebook.

that’s a right pain, i have not updated yet as Firebug has not been updated to work with it so i am still a version behind let me know if you find another solution as this feature is really useful!
