One problem that I see is that I can add a correct spelling for a word that isn't in my default dictionary for Firefox.  But do TB or CZ see that addition?  No.  Each app appears to have it's own dictionary.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Add a new word to the custom dictionary of App X.
2.Does it appear as a misspelling in App Y?
3.
Actual Results:  
The word will still be marked as a misspelling in App Y.

Expected Results:  
Once you add a word to your custom dictionary, it should marked as correct in all apps.

It looks like each app stores its dictionaries in the user profile.  With Firefox, that is C:/docs/user/mozilla/firefox/profile/something.dict.  But XUL Runner apps put it in C:/docs/user/xulrunner/profile/something.dict.
