How to enable Firefox's inline spell check for all text inputs

Admittedly I have become rather dependent on firefox's inline spell check; So much so, in fact, that I often find myself wishing it would work in more than just textareas, namely textboxes (the single-line inputs). Well I just found out a neat configuration modification to enable the spell check for all text inputs. Cheers to a lazy linguistics! :)

1. In the URL bar, goto about:config
2. Do a filter search for layout.spell
3. Double-click on layout.spellcheckDefault and change its value to 2
