I was looking through the preferences in Firefox just now and noticed that I have "Check my spelling as I type" activated. However, as activated as it might be in the options menu, it doesn't seem to be present anywhere...
So is there some trick that I don't know of to make use of spell checking? Not that I need or necessarily want it on but I'm trying to figure out why it's not visible anywhere while apparently turned on. :eh:

But, aye, thanks, I can now have ugly red lines under my (highly rarely) misspelled words! :woohoo:
Ah, THAT was the missing link :)
It worked everywhere, but the quick reply field on DV never did the spell check for me.
EDIT: er wait... It seems to have fixed it for that one instance. Why is spellcheck disabled by default for DV quick reply but nowhere else? that's weird...
