Spell Check All Fields Automatically In Firefox

Firefox LogoNow that Firefox 2 has built in spell check, it still has one issue, it doesn’t automatically spell check all fields by default. The normal behavior is to only spell check multi-line text fields. If you want to have it always spell check all text fields you need to follow these three simple steps.

  1. Go to about:config in your URL bar
  2. Search for spellcheckDefault
  3. Change the value of spellcheckDefault to 2

That’s it. Now Firefox will spell check all input boxes automatically. :)

InLine Spell Check for Firefox

It’s true, there is support for inline spell check in Firefox!

When I upgraded Firefox yesterday my SpellBound didn’t work so I did a little searching and found the developers preview of SpellBound. Not only did it work in Firefox 1.5.0.1 but it came with a new feature; inline spell check!

Now, just like Thunderbird, when you type in a text box, misspelt words underline in red. The only downside is that you can’t right click and get suggestions but I’m sure they are working on it. Either way, this is fantastic!
