Background
Several Mozilla products have access to spell checking functionality. A recent patch allows this functionality to work in HTML text editing controls. The spell check function, when active, is accessible via the context menu of the text box.
For spell checking to work, the user must have the appropriate dictionary files installed.
This preference allows the spell check function to be enabled or disabled for multi-line and/or single-line edit controls, and supersedes layout.textarea.spellcheckDefault.
Possible values and their effects
0
Disable spellchecker.
1
Enable spellchecker for multi-line controls (e.g., <textarea>s). (Default in Firefox)
2
Enable spellchecker for multi-line controls and single-line controls. (Default in Camino)
Caveats
