Spellchecker

I have the latest version of Firefox, but it doesn't seem to be doing any 
spellchecking as 'advertised' in the features section.. do I have to do 
anything special to get spellchecking functionality? Have I missed a 
tick-box somewhere?

1.  The spell checker works on text you enter in multi-line forms.
    Find yourself a web page with a multi-line text form field, 
    for example
        http://babelfish.altavista.com/translate.dyn


2.  Right-click on the multi-line text form field and ensure the 
    following right-click menu entries have been selected

       •   (right-click) -> Spell check this field
       •   (right-click) -> Languages -> English


3.  Enter some text in the multi-line text form field.
    Note how spelling errors are underlined in red.


4.  Right-click on a red underlined word, and select
    a corrected spelling from the top of the right-click menu.

You can also spell check single line fields by going to about:config,
and setting 'layout.spellcheckDefault' to '2', which will cause it to
check both single and multi-line fields.
