Instead of just having a small UI for the user to have with rightclick, why not integrate it into the options menu.

A user would go under  Tools -> Options  -> Content tab
And there should be an area specified for spellchecker preferences. Ability to view/add/remove a list of words easily with a UI. Also I think there could be some form to save the list so users can create custom lists and share or just to back up their own for future use.

I suggested the content tab because Text is content I guess.

Well thats what I'm getting at. The user should be able to see ALL words, including the ones that are installed by default from firefox. I should probably update that in my comment.
