I have language set to English (GB) but am being constantly annoyed with words like "colour" being underlined as badly spelt. Why aren't you using an English (GB) dictionary?

Gekose oplossing

Right-click the textbox > Languages > English (United Kingdom).

If you don't see it, make sure the British English Dictionary is installed.

from https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-firefox-spell-checker

Not all locales come with a dictionary installed due to licensing reasons.

If you are not using the en-US locale then you likely will have to install a dictionary.

Note on https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/language-tools/ the Language Packs are a way to change the language of the user interface like the menus as the spellchecker uses dictionaries.
