Forums or Firefox

Just installed new Firefox, and noticed a spelling checker, when I post here on the forums (word is highlighted below in red).
Is it a new forum feature, or new Firefox?

I didn't realize my spelling in posts was so bad until I installed Firefox 2! I'm normally quite good at spelling believe it or not

No excuses now lads!

Note: I've been using a nightly build of Bon Echo for a good few months now, and that has had the built-in spell checker in for ages. An absolute godsend
