I want a spell checker that checks my spelling for just a single line. For example the Ebay feedback is only one line long so how do I spell check my typed in response? Thank you.

You can do this by changing a hidden preference

  1. Type about:config into the location bar and press enter, accept the warning message that appears and you will be taken to a list of preferences
  2. In the search box at the top, type in spell, this will limit the results to a small number of preferences
  3. Double-click on the preference layout.spellcheckDefault and change its value to 2, that will enable spell checking on single lines

For details about that preference see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Layout.spellcheckDefault
