One place Firefox 10.0 regressed (for me anyways)

is the spell checker no longer working in all text fields such as the title box of message boards. This is something I haven't had to deal with in ages but for those also experiencing a sudden lack of spell check in the title box:

1. In the address bar of Firefox, type about:config
2. Type layout.spellcheckDefault in the filter box
3. Change the value from 1 to 2

I don't know why they don't make it the default. A spelling error in a title field is more embarrassing than one in the body of the message.
