Firefox 2.0 Spellcheck for all fields

The best thing about Firefox 2.0 (in my opinion) is the built in spell check. No more composing in Word and pasting into a text box, or misspelling words because you typed a quick post in the browser.

It comes in handy at work, where we constantly enter text into our development tool (Zentrack). My only complaint is that it only checked Text Areas and not all input fields…

Well, to fix that, just type about:config in the URL area of a Firefox window and then change the following value:

  • layout.spellcheckDefault = 2 turns on Firefox 2’s spell-checking in input fields as well as text areas.
