I'm Browsing With: Firefox 3

You guys know how, in Firefox, when you misspell a word, it gets the red dots underneath it? In case you haven't noticed, this only occurs in text fields. Not information fields.

For instance. Normally, I could NOT spell check in the 'topic title' of this post. However, with this modification, you can.

This is a very simple couple of steps.

1) Open up a tab and, in the address bar, type "about:config" without the quotations. You may get a message saying that editing anything could (will) void your warranty.

2) In the filter, type "layout.spellcheckDefault" without the quotations. You'll end up with one result. At the end of the data table, you'll see a number "1" under the 'value' column.

3) Change the "1" to a "2".

4) Enjoy spell-checking virtually everywhere.
