Is there a way to enable spell check?

On Firefox, right-click inside the textbox ā†’ enable spell check (or similar, my language is not english)

That is not what I am asking. I don't want a hack for that. Just like how the summary textbox provides spellcheck by default, there should be at least an option to enable spell check that works on various browsers.

Spell check is specific for each browser. Browsers enable it for default on textarea, and disable it for default on normal textbox (being inputbox of this type). My edit summaries don't have spellcheck, maybe it works for you if you have Visual Editor enabled and it uses a textarea instead of a normal texbox for this. Anyway, I don't know of another way to enable it for inputbox and this extension doesn't provide configuration/parameters to enable it.

Visual Editor is disabled in my preferences. But spell check is set to true to the summary textbox.

Maybe you manually enabled it in the past and the browser remembers that?

No, I did not enable it manually. But there might be a way, as a design improvement, to add spell check.

Suggestion filed as phab:T167195, with a note about how FF doesn't enable it for single-line <input type="text"> by default.

In the meantime, you can do what I did, and enable it at all sites, via instructions in https://superuser.com/a/599303
