I can has gud spelling?

Why is Firefox refusing to spellcheck? I got my laptop in August and one of the first things I downloaded was Firefox. As far as I can remember, Firefox has never spellchecked on it. The option to check spelling as I type is enabled. I've tried re-installing Firefox and re-installing multiple versions of Firefox, but it just won't spell check.

Can I fix this? How? (Currently running version 3 beta 4.)

And a tag-along question. Searching AskMe archives suggest a built in MeFi spellchecker. Jessamyn also made reference to this a few days ago, something about it being a little button that looks like 'ABC'. Have never seen this. What?

Spell-checking 100's of html / rhtml docs? Searching for a program that will allow me to check for spelling errors in multiple rhtml files at once.

Alternatively, an online service that scours a list of urls for spelling errors.

Thanks!

Where can I get a popup spellcheck function like AxMe's? It's really sweet. I'm especially impressed that it even works in Opera, is it done with Flash?
