User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:125.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/125.0

Steps to reproduce:

Just enabled spellcheck on text-boxes and selected English USA/UK and Portuguese (Portugal).

Using flatpak Firefox from Mozilla from flathub, it comes with Portuguese (Portugal) and English (US) idioms on settings by default only, on add-ons comes with Portuguese (Portugal) and Brazilian, I removed this last one.

This is a recurring problem already for a while, did a clean install and used Firefox sync and it is already the same.

Actual results:

It will select a different English region (Malaui) in this case, eventually.

Expected results:

The spellcheck should not change dictionary without intervention.

Component: Untriaged → Spelling checker
Product: Firefox → Core
Severity: -- → S3

How to reproduce:

1 - Download and install fedora silverblue 40 with Portuguese (Portugal) as the only keyboard setting and system language.
2 - Install Firefox from flathub.
3- Try enabling spellcheck on fields as described in the bug report.
