It's been brought to my attention, but i've never used or tried spellchecking, so i'm out of ideas to debug this. I suspect this is related to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=429023 and the fact that we still have www/mozilla-firefox/patches/patch-extensions_spellcheck_hunspell_src_mozHunspell_cpp, which ought to be replaced by a prefs.js patch, but i never found the time to do the change & properly test it. What if you tweak about:config and set spellchecker.dictonary_path to /usr/local/share/mozilla-dicts ? i'd definitely welcome a 'spell checker' section in mozilla-firefox/pkg/README from someone knowing how it works and how to configure it, in the way it is done for langpacks..
