Add the word Firefox to your personal dictionary.

type firefox in compose and note that we think the word is mispelled (which is
fine). But we don't suggest Firefox.

this works for words in the main dictionary but doesn't work for words in the
personal dictionary.

this turned out to be harder than I first thought.

scott, I'm seeing this in fx, too.  (Should I generalize to a core / spellchecker bug?)

if you remember, can you elaborate on your comment #1:  "this turned out to be harder than I first thought."?

This is a special case of the Bug 338291 (Words added to the personal dictionary are not suggested for misspelled words). See the suggested solution there.
