Steps to reproduce:

I write a message with spellchecking dictionary set to polish.


Actual results:

Spellcheck dictionary is switching by itself to en-US and switches back to polish after switching tabs. It doesn't behave like this, when I'm using en-US dictionary.


Expected results:

That spellchecking wouldn't switch dictionaries by itself.

Did you test with a fresh profile with both dictionaries?

Yes I did.

I can confirm this also appears to happen for "English (Australian)". It appears that Firefox does not save the default dictionary preference. A workaround was found here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1228800
