Steps to reproduce:

Spellcheck marked a word as misspelled, as it was not in the default dictionary. I used the right-click menu to add it to the dictionary.

Actual results:

Firefox continued to mark the word as misspelled until I partially retyped it (i.e. modified the word in some way). Presumably, this caused Spellcheck to re-check the word.

Expected results:

The red squiggly line should have gone away immediately upon the word being added to the dictionary.
