User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64; rv:55.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/55.0 Build ID: 20170824053622 Steps to reproduce: 1. Typed into a webpage form a word that was absent from the dictionary, e.g. the word 'panpsychist'. 2. Added that word to the dictionary. 3. Turned the typed word into a possessive, e.g. 'panpsychist's'. Actual results: Firefox flags the possessive as a spelling error. There seems no way to stop it doing this. Expected results: The word should not be flagged. Note that on e.g. a Wordpress editing page, this bug can result in a load of red that should not be there.
