Since my Tbird updated to 60.4.0 (64-bit) the spell checker seems to have lost its marbles. If I switch from British English Language (Marco Pinto) to English US the spelling works correctly apart from being American.

When in Eng GB anything pluralized or some words having ed at the end are marked as incorrect. I have tried stripping out the English dictionary and re-installing with no improvement. The same dictionary in Firefox works OK.

OS linux Mint using kernel 4.15.0-43

When Mint get round to updating to 60.5 on their repository I'll be happy. Meanwhile run in US dictionary mode.
