There do not seem to be any keyboard shortcuts for working with spell checking in FF. For example, while typing a section of text it should be possible to use the keyboard to correct the last misspelt word, either with the default recommendation or by opening a context menu.

Currently you have to take your hand off the keyboard and on to the mouse to fix spelling mistakes using the spell checker.

Shift-F10 is available but requires the cursor to be moved to the misspelt word first and then back again, and is unreliable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter "This sentense has a misspelt word" in any text box (use comments box for testing).
2. Unable to use spell checking features without using the mouse.
