How can I enable spell checking for a text box that is just one line, e.g. subject in e-mail?
In a prior version of Firefox I found a website somewhere that told me what to do to enable spell checking for text boxes that are just one line. I got used to being able to send an e-mail with a Subject Line that didn't have a misspelling. Now it doesn't work. Please tell me how I can enable that again. I am on a Mac using Firefox 6.0.2. Thanks!

See:
You can set the pref layout.spellcheckDefault to 2 on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
- Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
- Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
- Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

Using the Spell Checker
Check and tell if its working.
This link tells me how to use the spell checker for text with more than 1 line. That is working for me already. My question is how to get Firefox to spell check when there is just one line of text, like an e-mail subject.
I don't know for sure. Maybe try some add-ons:
