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.
