User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:37.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/37.0 Build ID: 20150402191859 Steps to reproduce: I wrote a sentence including "etc." thus: "apples etc. taste good". Actual results: The spellchecker flags "etc." as an error. If the word is added to the user dictionary, then it subsequently accepts "etc", with no period, as correct. Expected results: "etc." should be recognised as correct; "etc" should not be.
Andy, Thanks for reporting this. I think you have found an old bug and that your report is a Duplicate bug. See bug 318040 "Spell checker flags words containing full stops (periods)" My reading of that bug is that it has 'just landed in Nightly, Firefox 40'. DJ-Leith
