      Firefox spell checking not working?

      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.

      Genius. It works.

      I just reinstalled firefox so I guess the newer versions don't come with it automatically checked off. And funny how the spell checker doesn't recognize "firefox"

      Well, the right-click menu in a text area only has...

      • Undo
      • Cut
      • Copy
      • Paste
      • Delete
      • Select All
      • Properties
      • Add dictionaries...


      And I am indeed using the latest Firefox 2.x, updating every time an update is available.

      I really need to start following through on my curiosity.
      I'd obviously have figured it out if I installed a dictionary just to check, heh.

      But, aye, thanks, I can now have ugly red lines under my (highly rarely) misspelled words!

      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...
