The Firefox 3 browser comes with a useful built-in spelling checker. If you posted a message in an online forum or used Google Docs you can see it work. A red line will appear under a misspelled word. You can right click the word for spelling suggestions. It’s a nice feature but its short coming is that it does not work in Web Forms. However it’s easy to make the spelling check feature work in web forms.

Do the following:
Open Firefox, type about:config in the address bar, press enter. In the Filter field type spellcheck. Right-click layout.spellcheckDefault, and click Modify. Raise the value from 1 to 2. Restart Firefox. The spelling checker will now work in most online web forms.
