User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:39.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/39.0 Build ID: 20150630154324 Steps to reproduce: Over a textarea: contextual menu → Languages Actual results: Only English (United States) is listed. Expected results: I should have got the dictionaries from /usr/share/hunspell (like with Debian's Iceweasel). It seems that when Firefox was using MySpell, system-wide dictionaries were taken into account: bug 429023, which was fixed. This bug is also related to bug 310285.

This now needs to be explicitly given via spellchecker.dictionary_path pref or DICPATH env variable.

OK. I can see that with Debian's firefox package, spellchecker.dictionary_path is set to /usr/share/hunspell by default, which is fine. According to its changelog, this has been done since firefox 61.0-2 in July 2018.
