Hello! Thank you for submitting this issue.
It appears that the reason you are not seeing the "Dutch" language in the "Languages" list from the context menu is because only the language pack has been installed. To enable it, the Dutch dictionary needs to be installed as well. See a similar discussion here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1280240
Could you please install the Dutch dictionary pack from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/woordenboek-nederlands/ (or right click on any text box --> Languages --> Add dictionaries... menu and find the "Dutch" language on the list and click on its link from the "Dictionaries" column) and let me know if the issue is resolved?
It works for me. If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to ask.
Please see comment 1.
It works!
Although it is a bit confusing that you get sent to that page from the right-mouse-button dialogue for the spell-check, and then your eye lands on the first column (which has nothing to do with spell check) and you search for your language and you click it without reading any further and closing the tab.
To me a language pack would be the thing that changes my spell check (I believe Word also used a similar term?). A dictionary explains words (e.g. the "Dictionairiez" extension), a language pack does all the other things (such as interface language spell checking), IMVHO.
Thanks for the help!
