I am running vanilla Firefox 78.3.0 ESR under Linux and neither $DICPATH
nor the spellchecker.dictionary_path preference is working (also not
working in Firefox 68ESR).  I have a customized medical dictionary that
I have used for many years under older versions of Firefox that I now
cannot use.   I assume it is supposed to be as simple as:

$ ls /opt/dictionary
$ file *
en-US.aff:  ASCII text
en-US.dic:  UTF-8 Unicode text

$ export DICPATH="/opt/dictionary"
$ firefox

Yet it is not using the external dictionary I defined (showing words in
that external dictionary as misspelled, still).  I tried also adding
export DICTIONARY="en-US" before launching and that didn't help.  I am
hoping someone might have some idea what is going on.  Is this option
now broken?  And I using it wrong?  I would open a new bug report if I
were confident I am not doing something wrong, myself.  Thanks
